This DVD looks at Vallenata, the hot, jumpy dance music of Columbia found in an era with one of the worst concentrations of organized crime and drug trade in the world.
An examination of the specific Colombian folk music known as Vallenato. Springing from the marijuana-growing region Valledupar, it is a sort of blues-rock fusion lending itself to all-night dances. This fascinating documentary explores the complex and rich history of Vallenato, which absorbs a mix of African-rooted cumbia traditions and traditional Indian flute music.
