Emiliano Zuleta Baquero was a Colombian vallenato composer, accordion player and singer, popularly known as El viejo Mile (The Old Mile). In 1938, he published his masterpiece La gota fría, a song that emerged from a musical controversy with Lorenzo Morales and that years later Carlos Vives and Julio Iglesias would interpret, turning the song into an international hit.[1]
Zuleta was born on January 11, 1912, in La Jagua del Pilar, a small town of la Guajira. He died on October 30, 2005, in Valledupar (Cesar) from respiratory problems at age 93.[2]
