Alberto Fernández Mindiola

Alberto Fernández Mindiola (born 1927) is a Colombian singer, guacharaca player, and songwriter. Fernández is known as the "Golden Voice of Vallenato" (Spanish: La Voz de Oro del Vallenato). He was a founding member of Bovea y sus Vallenatos, and has performed with several Colombian musical groups in a decades-long career. In 2015 El Espectador wrote that "Fernández's voice is as emblematic of the popular song of the Colombian Caribbean as those of Buitrago and Alejo Durán."
