The musician was 57 years old and apparently suffered a cardiac event while playing a tennis match this Tuesday, May 21, at the Country Club in the North of Valleduparwhen he collapsed, which is why he was immediately taken to a healthcare center.

Geles was considered one of the great exponents of this genre and received the nickname “The King of Piquería” for his virtuosity on the accordion and his unique style of composition. He was crowned King Vallenato in 1989.
