Andrés Landero – La Pava Congona

Known as the King of Cumbia on the button accordion, Andrés Landero emerged from San Jacinto to create a distinctive rural style bridging vallenato technique with pure cumbia cadence. On La Pava Congona, his accordion imitates the crying call of the native partridge, weaving melancholy melodic ornaments over a relentless, swinging bass drum.
