In Valledupar, exactly from the Parque de la Leyenda Vallenata ‘Consuelo Araujonoguera’, five composers presented themselves in search of the crown of unpublished Vallenata song, on this occasion they presented 2 walks, 2 merengues and 1 son.
There is no comparison in telling stories and experiences through vallenato music. In addition, support for the composer spirit and spaces that maintain the roots of this region of the Colombian Caribbean.
The new King in the unreleased song category is Unaldo Jose Rocha Calderón, 48 years old and originally from San Diego – Cesar and who with the Merengue “Canta Valle, Canta” takes the highest recognition in this category.
In second place we have Vallenato Everardo Armenta Alonso, who at 57 years old participated with the merengue “Palabras Mayores” and in third place in this category is the author José Carlos Guerra Ustariz, a native of San Diego – Cesar, with his “The House of Folklore” walk.
From the first round it was shown that the inspiration and interpretation is on another level, since it is necessary to initially remember the 70 unpublished songs that with their lyrics demonstrated their creativity to compose Vallenato folklore.
Once again, the Vallenata legend Festival in its 57th version in tribute to ‘La Voz Tenor del Vallenato’, Iván Villazón Aponte, makes history and remains captured in the hearts of all those who came with the hope of enjoying from start to finish end the largest festival in Colombia.
It was a night full of magic, where only the songs accompanied by snare drum, guacharaca, accordion and guitar could be heard; In this way it is shown that Vallenata music is still on point.
