'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.

on the
vallenato bandwagon. Buy this album and find out why!
