Please do not get confused, the traditional composers deserve more praise than Carlos Vives!Rosameliamartinez 03:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vallenato user box

This user likes Vallenato music from Colombia

I like this userbox but I'm not convinced by the red lettered words or the message, which could be improved. The lack of proper punctuation and the fact that it isn't a template are also a problem. This one is another version:

This user listens to Vallenato and recognizes its part of Colombia’s cultural heritage. ¡Ay Hombre!

To use just type: {{User Vallenato}}

hello

the vallenato does not have indigenous ancestor, the point that is a part of the vallenato is a change of the cumbia, and the cumbia esun rhythm brought by the colonists of black race to our country.

it is important to realize in colombia a process of decolonization so that the vallenato and the cumbia go away of the country

Is Vallenato really from Valdupar? Lisandro Mesa says no!

Lisandro Mesa famous Vallenato musician questions the often stated fact of vallenato coming from Valdupar stating: "Rafael Escalona, Colombian President Alfonso Lopez, and García Marquez put together a Festival of Accordionists in Aracataca. The first winner was Alejandro Durán. Afterwards, Escalona moved the festival to Valledupar. When it was in Aracataca the music wasn't called "vallenato". It was just a festival of accordionists. But in Valledupar it was called the Festival of Vallenato, taking on part of the name of the town. After that all accordion music was referred to as "vallenato". I am from the Savannah, as are many other accordionists, like Alfredo Gutierrez. We were discriminated against. They said we weren't from the right region to win the vallenato festival because our music was fram the Savannah. The press and television began to use the term "vallenato" music, and it has remained that way." Here's another quote: "Furthermore, "vallenato" is not really what you should call music from Valledupar. It should be called Valduparian. Vallenato means from "Ballena" (whale). It never was a rhythm, it was just that they put the festival there and then the power of the press created this promotional term "Vallenato", and so it has remained(http://www.afropop.org/multi/interview/ID/43/Lisandro+Meza-2003)."

Merger proposal

The article Piqueria vallenata has recently been started, but considering it is a stub and that both the new article and the section "Piqueria" in this article are poorly sourced, it would be better to merge the two together. Richard3120 (talk) 03:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

South Asian Indian or Native American?

Hi there, in the section on "The four rhythms", under "Puya", it reads:

It is considered the oldest of the four "airs", with roots in an ancient Indian dance of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

Which 'Indian' does this refer to - the modern meaning of someone from the country of India, or the older but now incorrect usage of an Indigenous person from the Americas? I'm assuming, considering the topic, we're talking about an Indigenous person of the Americas? If so, could someone please rewrite this sentence? Thanks. — Jclu: talk-contribs 06:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
