5.0 out of 5 stars On the 'Editorial review': Vallenato is not from the Andes!, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Escalona 2 (Audio CD)

The album is great, like most productions of Carlos & Cia.

My comment is about the "Editorial Review" that accompanies this album here.
Just for common basic knowledge, this must be corrected: the Vallenato IS NOT a "traditional ANDEAN sound"!! It is precisely a sound from the Colombian Caribbean plains!! It is fundamentally a tropical rythym, with many variations.

>>"Album Details
Second Volume to 1994s Soundtrack to the Telenovela that Starred Nine-time Grammy Nominee and International Singer/Songwriter. The Now Former Colombian Actor Has Become One of the Most Successful Artists in Popular Latin Music. An Ex-member of the Group La Provincia, Vives Fuses Traditional Andean Sounds from his Native Colombia, Such as Vallenato with Tropical Rhythms in a Modern Pop Style."

Enjoy Carlos Vives and Colombian music!
