Vendedor de Lagrimas
Colombians are quick to react, brisk to discuss, cautious to decide and excessively slow to make collective decisions. Maybe that’s why some colombians decide to cry for the rest.
This is a video that shows one of the most bizarre professions. This is a guy who decides to cry for others, and believed or not Colombians pay for that.

Vallenateando
VALLENATO
Next to Cumbia, Vallenato constitutes one of the most important native musical styles coming from Colombia. The roots of Vallenato lie with the music of the Wayuu Indians of the Güajira peninsula of Northern Colombia, in fusion with diverse African and Caribbean influences.
Vallenato acquired its current form to be a music for the transmission of folk and love stories, a music for celebration and serenades, in the traditions of the Spanish troubadours.

Show me how to play accordion compae
Puya Vallenato Valledupar
It is estimated that a century after the invention of the accordion in 1829, Europeans introduced the German Hohner accordion to the northern coast of Colombia where it was primarily used to play European music. Fortunately, the famous German instrument, now most commonly known as the acordeón vallenato, found its way to Valle de Upar where it was adopted as part of the vallenato folklore
Within the vallenato music and folklore there are basically four rhythm styles: puya, merengue, son and paseo . The son and paseo have the slowest tempo of the four styles but the paseo is perhaps the most popular or most commercially marketable music. But if you want to show your skills , you have to play The Puya that is the fastest rhythm to interpretate.

Soccer is our religion?
Dr.krapula - El pibe de mi barrio
Since soccer has great influence over people’s social lives, it is no exaggeration to say that many people in Colombia and the rest of the world call soccer their “religion”. Like religion, soccer cannot escape the fanaticism of its supporters.
However the only religion for most is the worship of money, and that's not new at all.

This is Vallenato
La tierra del olvido
Nevertheless Carlos Vives has made a big contribution to the diffusion of Vallenato over the world.

This song is about our traditions, our landscape and people
This video was shooted at La Sierra Nevada de Santa Martha. This one of the most diverse areas in the country.
This is the land of the Arhuacos, an agrarian tribe whose nation stretches across the thick forests and fertile valleys of these mountains of northern Colombia. a tribe of 18,000 people.The Arhuacos operates schools where the ancestral tongue is taught. They hold religious rituals in forest clearings, giving thanks to the creators of the divine mountains and rivers of the range where they live, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
But also this is the land of the costenos and the mestizos. The video shows how important is the music to enjoy life
Vallenato is one of the most typical music of Colombia, in which the accordion plays the most important role. Of course, the accordion is not Colombian but German, but it was quickly integrated with the music of the country.

El Album- New eyes to see my country
Aterciopelados El Album
The real voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes - Marcel Proust
I love photography because it is not my job. As long as I keep it that way, I will continue to love it. It is my escape to creative indulgence, good or bad.
There's an alternately ethereal and electric power pulsing music from Colombia.This is the Colombian duo Aterciopelados. The members are the vocalist-guitarist Andrea Echeverri and the bassist Hector Buitrago. They have rooted their sound in traditional rhythms while deftly dipping it in some of today's most exciting genres.

Images are the shock absobers
Amortiguador by Andrea Echeverri
Shock Absorber
The mechanical romance between you and I
Automatically struck up two sparks
You advise me, you are my steering wheel
You stimulate my accelerator
Mmmm
Hug me like a safety belt
Protect me, liberate me from everything bad
Mmmm
You you you you you you are my shock absorber
The mechanical romance between you and I
The best upkeep of my engine
Gas makes combustion
And goes through my carburetor
Mmmmmm
Hold me
You you you you you you are my shock absorber
You you you you you hold back the world, the pain
You defend me when someone hurts me, my shock absorber
You smooth-out cruel situations, my shock absorber
Imagine to be in the middle of the black market in Bogota city.
Colombian's are surrounded by kitch images where religion and superstition are the protectors. We have to believe in something in order to survive
Images are our faith our soul and our hopes.

If you want to know about Colombian folklore and traditions,this is a good beginning.
Colombian Music is a combination of african, european and indigenous music.
How can we Colombians remain optimistic and happy when our nation is not only suffering from grinding poverty but also from unceasing political turmoil, unabated graft and corruption and environmental destruction?
Maybe Music is the answer. In Colombia music is a kind of tool against oppression and injustice
