Lucy Duran introduces a special session from London-born teenage accordionist and World Routes Academy 2012 mentee Jose Hernando, playing with his own band.

World Routes Academy 2012: this year's protégé, London-born teenage accordionist José Hernando, introduces the Colombian 'vallenato' style, looking back to great performers of the past, and playing a studio session with his own band. Plus highlights from José's first session with his mentor, celebrated accordionist Egidio Cuadrado, recorded in José's bedroom at his home in Acton. Introduced by Lucy Duran.

Launched in 2010, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 World Routes Academy aims to support and inspire UK based young world music artists by bringing them together with an internationally renowned artist in the same field and belonging to the same tradition. The scheme targets forms of music and musical skills that are under threat to help preserve them.

Born in London but of Colombian descent, the talented young José Hernando fell in love with Vallenato, the popular folk style from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, which he learned from watching clips online and on tapes his father brought back from Colombia. José Hernando plays in a number of Vallenato and Cumbia folk bands in London and is the musical director of Revolucion Vallenata, a multi-cultural band celebrating the Vallenato tradition. José Hernando is also currently studying for a degree in Guitar at the Tech Music School in West London.

For the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 World Routes Academy 2012, José is paired with Egidio Cuadrado, the gifted Colombian accordion player, perhaps best known for his work with Carlos Vives, the Grammy-winning Colombian star and one of the most celebrated performers in Latin America.
