Lucho Cuéllar: the reason why he left music
Lucho Cuéllar had to move away from cumbia due to the problems he had with alcoholism. Over the years he starred in various episodes in which he could be seen under the influence of alcohol, and was even accused in 2020 of having assaulted one of his ex-partners, which is why he was taken to the Chimbote police station.
This was not the only time the interpreter was accused of the same thing. Three years earlier, Alejandra Villanueva, who was 19 years old, denounced him for physical and psychological abuse during the time their romantic relationship lasted.
For this reason, Cuéllar was interned several times in various rehabilitation centers.

What is Lucho Cuéllar currently doing?
Lucho Cuéllar surprised more than one by announcing his return to music at the beginning of the year 2021. The cumbiambero, who presented his orchestra Los Incorrigibles de la cumbia, claimed to have overcome his addictions thanks to religion and recognized all the mistakes he made in last.
“I want to get ahead, I have come back to believe that I can because the moment came when I realized (of) what I had, and that he loved me”, expressed in an interview with Magaly Medina.

Lucho Cuellar found in religion a space of peace
The ‘Kiko’ of cumbia was submerged for several years in the world of addiction to illicit substances and alcoholism. However, after years of struggle, the remembered cumbiambero resurfaced like the phoenix and in an interview with Magaly TV revealed that part of that improvement is due to being initiated into religion.
“There is no more beautiful option than meeting God and oneself. How do I arrive? For a friend who talked to me a lot about the word and made me see many things that I was not realizing”, commented the 34-year-old artist.
