Did you know that Vallenato is among the most listened to genres in Colombia? It is an autochthonous musical genre of the Caribbean Region of Colombia, mainly from its coasts with its origin in the old province of Padilla; is a very characteristic genre of traditional vallenato is that it can be played with only three “3” instruments that do not require any amplification: two percussion instruments (the box and the guacharaca), which set the rhythm, and the diatonic accordion ( of European origin) with which the melody is interpreted; However, there are songs that are composed or performed with other instruments such as: the guitar, the flute, the bagpipe, the chromatic accordion and the harmonica, and it must also be emphasized that commercial vallenato is common not only the incorporation of the instruments previously mentioned, but also the use of electric bass and other percussion, such as congas and timpani.
