Nirk Molina with his fusion of pop
vocals and traditional Colombian vallenato the traditional music of the
Colombian rural people. He embodies the very soul of Latin America. To complete this double bill will be Eduardo Parra leader of Fuerza Vallenata arrived several years ago and today still runs the London-based band performing the
music known as "Vallenato" and also being one of the first people to bring this
hugely popular Colombian style of music to this country.
Vallenato, which originated in the Valle de Upar in northeastern
Colombia, has roots in African, European, and native Colombian music. It
uses native bamboo flutes, African-inspired drums, and German
accordions. For many years the music was looked down upon in Colombia
because it was associated with poor people and minority groups.However,
Molina and other artists have brought it into the mainstream and have
also introduced it to audiences around the world. Molina and vallenato' s
mix of cultures is the living proof of the equality of all people." NIRK MOLINA : www.wix.com/vfv477/nirk-molina
