About the Author
Andrés Caicedo was a Colombian writer whose raw, energetic prose captured the restless spirit of youth in 1970s Cali. His only published novel, Que viva la musica!, remains a cult classic that blends music, rebellion, and existential longing into a visceral coming-of-age story. Writing with urgency and emotional intensity, Caicedo explored themes of alienation, desire, and cultural identity before his untimely death at age 25. His singular voice continues to resonate with readers seeking authentic portrayals of Latin American adolescence and urban life.
