vallenato is from what region
The most popular music in Colombia, more than salsa or reggaeton, is a strange accordion-driven music known as vallenato, which comes from the Caribbean coast of the country, specifically the town of Valledupar.Vallenato is the only genre that is equally beloved in every region of Colombia.It is the music that Gabriel Garcia Marquez danced to when he celebrated winning his Nobel Prize for Literature, and he even described his most famous novel, 100 Years of Solitude, as a 400-page vallenato.asic vallenato consists of three instruments: 1  The caja, a small drum played with bare hands like a bongo (which arrived along with the slaves from Africa). 2  The guacharaca, a small, ribbed stick that is scratched with a fork, making a sound similar to maracas. 3  The accordion, of German origin.
