Peru : rural Andean meets urban salsa

'The most interesting Andean release for years.' The Independent newspaper, UK
'It's an extraordinary thing as you're about to hear: elements of bhangra, zydeco and
African guitar ... so there is more to Peruvian music than just pan pipes.' Andy Kershaw,
BBC Radio One, UK
'A pioneering release of Peru's hot fusion music.' Rough Guide to World Music.


Vallenato is thought to have originated from the nomadic Wayúu Indians of Northern Colombia. It owes its distinctive folkloric style not only to a fusion of African and Caribbean influences, but also to the introduction of the accordion - or melodeon - from 19th century Europe.
