¡Ayombe! The Heart of Colombia's Música Vallenata

In the words of GRAMMY®-winning popular singer/actor
Carlos Vives, "Colombia is one of those great musical
quarries of the Americas, as have been the American
South, the Antilles, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina." Since
the late 20th century, the music of the vallenatos-
people of a small valley region of the Caribbean coast-
"has best portrayed the true way of being and feeling of the
Colombian people." ¡Ayombe! The Heart of Colombia’s
Música Vallenata, features two dozen seasoned vallenato
performers spanning three generations, playing polished
renditions of the music they know best-paseos, merengues, sones, and puyas.
70 minutes, 15 tracks, 20+ page booklet
