Andrés Landero – La Pava Congona

The accordion sound of the Colombian countryside. Andrés Landero, from San Jacinto and known as El Rey de la Cumbia, played cumbia on the button accordion rather than the gaita, and his rural recordings sit somewhere between cumbia and vallenato. La Pava Congona, named after a forest bird, is the track to hear how the accordion takes over the flute's role with ornamented, crying phrases.
