“For me, the restoration that the Foundation does for me is gratifying. First, because This year I am going to inaugurate the Cocha Molina museum in October, where I want to leave a legacy for the new generations and precisely I had to restore all the trophies that I have won by the categories and the crown of the king of kings was worn out because it has some materials that are resistant, but the fabric is deteriorating ”, said ‘Cocha’ Molina.
At the same time, he stressed that in his museum there will be all the Vallenato King trophies that he has won in different categories, with the King of Kings crown being the highest award for accordion players of Vallenato music.
