Yury has been an active salsa musician for many years beginning at the
tender age of 11 with his father’s salsa orchestra "Expresion Latina". This
ensemble performed throughout Europe notably at the Continents Festival in
Bordeaux, the Francofolies in La Rochelle, AC Besana in Italie, Estels
festival in Barcelona...These experiences launched Yury’s passion for
performing.
Many years have passed since these early concerts. After many projects,
tours and recording sessions, Yury launched his first album "Para que baulen
todos" comprised exclusively of original compositions in April 2006. His
current group is made up of 10 professional musicians and performs a
repertoire representative of all the Latino-American styles from salsa to
meringue through the cumbia and the chacha.
Yury u sus Hermanos’ repertoire consists of modern salsa fusing Yury’s
bicultural origins. A native of Chile, Yury grew up and currently resides in
France. (...) Completey bilinguial, Yury composes in both French and

FRENCHYury Mardones
Depuis de nombreuses années, Yury est dans le monde de la salsa. C’est grâce à son père, qui l’intégrait à son orchestre de salsa alors qu’il était âgé de 11 ans, qu’il commença directement son apprentissage. Se confrontant ainsi, à de très nombreuses occasions, au public.
