Alfredo Gutierrez

Alfredo Gutierrez is among the top-ranked performers of Colombian folk music. Regarding his band, which include accordion, drums, guaracharaca, scrapper, bass, electric guitar, trumpet, Gutierrez combines the Colombian customs of vallenato, a folk music intially performed in the Atlantic coastline for smuggler barons and their gangs, and cumbia, a more-modern, salsa-influenced, design. Based on Djambe Online, Gutierrez and his music group play a music that’s “joyful and percussive, with lyrics correct out of everyday activity, love and cash problems”.
