Antonio Rivas Padilla is a Colombian accordion player. He has got to know many of the great masters of the Vallenato's folklore[1] such as Alejendro Duran; Abel Antonio Villa; Mariano Perez; Pablo Garcia; Emilianito Zuleta; Alfredo Gutierrez; Ismael Rudas; Pablo Lopez and many others.
He was born in Istimina, Colombia, to Adriano Rivas and Sabina Padilla. Completely self-taught, he took up the diatonic accordion at the age of fifteen.[2][unreliable source?]
He earned a master's degree in mathematics in Colombia, then moved to France, where he completed a PhD in high-energy physics and a master's degree in computer science. In 1984, he created the group Antonio y sus Vallenatos in Montpellier. In 1987, with Nemesio Jimenes ('EI Condor'), he founded the group Novedad Vallenata in Paris.
In Europe, Antonio Rivas takes part in most of the international events involving the diatonic accordion.[3] In 1995 he appeared at WOMEX, the World Music Expo in Brussels, and at the town hall of Paris for the 50th anniversary of UNESCO.
