Charanga-vallenata
Charanga-vallenata is a style of Latin music that combines conjunto, charanga and vallenato-style accordion.[1][2] It is essentially Cumbia performed at double its normal speed. It could also be interpreted as Mambo with lyrics. It became popular in the 1970s, when it was associated with Roberto Torres.[3][4]
