Exitos Vallentos: all of these have long been out of print and are old Vallenato songs. A Compilation of Vallenato
favorites.

Vallenato comes from Colombia?s northern coast . The name is derivated from "Valledupar", the city where it became popular. Valledupar comes from Valle de Upar (Valle = Valley, Upar = A river that crosses this city).

The origins of vallenato are:
- The folkloric Cumbia, using only percussion (Alegre, llamador, bombo, guache, maracas de totumo) and the rustical Gaita flutes (not the one from Schottland!) of the Aruaco Indians from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta but used mainly in the Departamentos Bolivar, Sucre and C?rdoba, or the "Flauta de Millo" used mainly in Soledad and Barranquilla.
- Later, the "m?sica sabanera", with guitars and tiple (12 strings in 4 groups of three with similar sound to the cuban "tres").

Originally, Vallenato was played using only accordion, guacharaca (something like the g?iro but made of the boughs of the corozo palm), caja vallenata (a drum, a little bigger than a bongo using an x-ray sheet instead of the leather pad) and vocals. Today Vallenato bands are as big as Salsa orchestras, and include additionally congas, timbales, electric guitar, electric bass, a metal g?ira instead of the guacharaca, and a bg. vocals section. Some musicians and composers of the olden times are: Enrique D?az, Leandro D?az, Francisco El Hombre, Alejo Duran, Emiliano Zuleta, Rafael Escalona, Morales or Boveda for example. Contemporary but original Vallenato is performed by artists like Diomedes Diaz, Los Hermanos Zuleta, Jorge O?ate, Iv?n Villazon, Los Betos, El Binomio de Oro, Rafael Santos...
