The singer of all time and perhaps the first voice on the airwaves of radio Zulian. Regarded as the greatest singer-songwriter music from Maracaibo, Armando Molero was also a great guitarist, with whom managed to convey and preserve the adjective Zulia.

With his voice full of style and paste remembrances, began singing in La Voz del Lago, and later formed the Maracaibo Dueto alongside Cesar Villalobos, acting on the Radio Maracaibo, where they came with a contract to work on the Radio Broadcasting Caracas and Venezuela, in the thirties. Armando Molero came to mingle with the Mexican comedian Mario Moreno and his voice Cantiflas enjoyed great popularity in Zulia, through his compositions, including a flower, Josefina, Flashes of love, Happy Birthday, Night Life, Your Mouth, With hat in hand, the coconut palm, the missing child, the mother-in-law, student, Lazarus, Trigueña beautiful, well I’m starting my own, drunk and wanted to Maracaibo.

Bambucos, waltzes, and dances were the specialty of contradanza Armando Molero, a singer vernacular, with skills serenatero whose activities as a composer is a source of controversy because of the doubts sown by some characters. There is no hesitation on their significance as the man who best represents the adjective Zulia, and the work of defense of our musical tradition.
