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.
