Filomeno Isidro Ballumbrosio Obituary (1961

It is with our deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of our beloved Filomeno Isidro Ballumbrosio Guadalupe, who passed away, at the age of 59, in the Lake Jackson Healthcare Center, Lake Jackson, Texas, 5 months after suffering a terrible stroke. Our beloved "Meno," as we affectionately called him, was born in El Carmen, Chincha, Peru on November 29, 1961. The first born of Mrs. Adelina and Mr. Amador Ballumbrosio, he helped with the upbringing of his fifteen siblings. He attended Nuestra Senora del Carmen school, in El Carmen, Chincha, and from a very young age he dedicated himself to following in his father's footsteps through "zapateo" (tap dancing), and by cultivating Afro Peruvian music. He was an accomplished percussionist and cajon player. During the 1980's he arrived in Lima, Peru where he further developed his passion. He played with great musicians of national and international renown among them Miki Gonzalez, Pochi Marambio, Chaqueta Piaggio, Charly Garcia, Dan Voll, Doris Caballero, Kike Infante, and his siblings. In the year 2000 he moved to the United States and started his international career. He played in cities including: Tucson, Rockford, Chicago, Emporia, Boston, Nueva York, Detroit, Washington DC, Austin, Houston, among others. He formed the band "Combo Loco" with Dan Voll and later brought local Peruvian musicians Doris Caballero, Kike Infante, and others into the group. Meno was a man who spread joy and mischief everywhere he went. Quick to share his talent, he brought out the musician in everyone lucky enough to spend time with him. He made performers of people, who, like myself, didn't have any idea how to play an instrument. Open minded, and with great fervor for his Virgen de Carmen, Meno took his music and culture everywhere. A memorial service will be held in Houston this Sunday March 28, from 12pm to 3pm for this amazing brother, marvelous father, kind friend, my great accomplice, and my husband. Fly high, Meno my love, I'll look after your Vale La presente tiene por objeto informar sobre el sensible fallecimiento de quien en vida fue Filomeno Isidro Ballumbrosio Guadalupe, de 59 anos, quien despues de haber tenido un terrible derrame fallecio tras 5 meses en el Centro de Salud en la ciudad de Lake Jackson, Texas. Nuestro amado "Meno", como carinosamente lo llamabamos, nacio en El Carmen, Chincha, un 29 de noviembre de 1961. Hijo de dona Adelina y don Amador, fue el primogenito de esta pareja y ayudo a la crianza de sus demas hermanos. Estudio en el Colegio Nuestra Senora del Carmen de El Carmen, Chincha. Desde muy nino se dedico a zapatear como su padre y al cultivo de la musica negra. Gran cajonero y percusionista, durante la decada de los ochenta llego a Lima donde desarrollo su pasion. Toco con grandes musicos de renombre nacional e internacional, entre ellos Miki Gonzalez, Pochi Marambio, Chaqueta Piaggio, Dan Voll, Doris Caballero, Kike Infante, y sus hermanos. En el 2000 se muda a EEUU y comienza su carrera internacional. Toca en distintas ciudades: Tucson, Rockford, Chicago, Emporia, Boston, Nueva York, Detroit, Washington DC, Austin, Houston, entre otras. Formo la banda "Combo Loco" con Dan Voll y luego integro los grupos con distintos musicos peruanos locales como Doris Caballero y Kike Infante. Meno era un hombre que llevaba su alegria y picardia en cada acto. Siempre compartia su talento y sacaba al musico que habitaba en la personalidad de cualquier ser humano. Nos volvia grandes performers a gente que, como yo, no teniamos ninguna idea de lo que era tocar un instrumento. De mente abierta, de gran fervor por su Virgencita del Carmen, Meno llevo su musica y su cultura a todos lados. Un super hermano, maravilloso padre, y gran complice mio, mi esposo, tendra una ceremonia en Houston este domingo, 28 de marzo, de 12 a 3 pm. "Vuela alto, Meno, mi amor, yo cuidare a tu Vale".
