  4. Vallenato Festivals! The Vallenato Legend Festival: Every year by the end of April, in the city of Valledupar, the “Festival de la LeyendaVallenata.” During the festival a contest takes place in which the best vallenato players fight for the title of “Rey Vallenato” (Vallenato accordion King. Accordions' Cradle Festival: (Festival cuna de acordeones) This festival has been celebrated every year since 1979, in Valledupar's neighboring town of Villanueva. The Festival is similar to the Vallenato Legend Festival, but also includes a category for the elderly accordion players over sixty years old.

  5. The Four Ryhthms Vallenato consists of four beats or "airs" that are differentiated through their rhythmic structure and the melody chord structure the accordionist gives it. These are son, paseo, merengue, and puya. The son and the paseo have a 2/4 time and the merengue and the puya a 6/8 time. Son is played with heavy accentuation and cadence stressed on the low notes of the accordion on its left hand side. It's normally mournful and slow. Paseo is thought to be an off-shoot of the son. Its speed can vary and today is the most widely recorded air. Puya's main difference from the merengue is the length of its lyrics. In the last 40 years, accordion players have begun to play it faster, and each of the three instruments used in vallenato has a solo. It is considered the oldest of the four "airs", with roots in an ancient Indian dance of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Merengue is often confused with a Dominican genre with the same name, probably brought by related African tribal groups. It has a more narrative Style.

  6. Interesting Fact La Nueva Ola La Nueva Ola La Nueva Ola refers to the new generation of Vallenato groups and orchestras that have created a distinctive sound for themselves while keeping some of the essence of their predecessors. Basically, the new blood of vallenato is taking the old style of their ancestors and adding to it their own style and flare. This “new wave” is becoming very popular and is growing very rapidly.
