Vallenato Legend Festival

It´s likely that the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear 'Colombian Caribbean coast' is the vallenato, even more, if you named Valledupar because this is the world capital of the musical rhythm.
The Vallenato Legend Festival is the largest event in the city. There, we can see different kinds of cultural activities and music that illuminate the city and receive hundreds of tourists in April each year.
We can say that this, is the only kind of music that you gonna hear in the trip.

Accordion, one of the most representative musical
 instrument of the genre.

Don't you like the vallenato? You need to live the experience! Despite my roots, the truth is that I never was very fan of this musical genre if not until I lived closer. The vallenato heard in every corner of the city is very different from the kind of pretty sad songs that we often hear in bars and family parties. It's a really catchy and enjoyable music, perfect for the best occupation of coast people, celebrate.
