Augusto Bracca saw in the singers José Catire Carpio and Juan de los Santos Contreras (El Carrao de Palmarito) two of his best interpreters. The former recorded, among others, two of his famous pieces in his career such as "Mi llano es un paraíso" and "Mi rancho llanero" and the latter made popular the famous piece "Chaparralito llanero".
