12 years later I came across the
instrument that changed my life the
accordion
arrivals from the European continent towards
the Colombian coasts at the end of 1800
first to ports like in Riojacha the
guajira crosses the magdalena sierra
the valley and it reaches the hands of
peasants and minstrels on the Caribbean coast
they fall in love with their sound they reinterpret
the technique and it becomes the
instrument most representative of the
local music
the vallenato a genus that has
direct influences spain ‘by the
guitar in our indigenous language by
the guacharaca and africana for the box and
this of the drum and so what today
we know as the most important genre
in Colombian folk music
but these are things that one never goes to
think when I hear a vallenato
too many details not
Now imagine what is behind
your
suddenly the world has forgotten us
to discover behind each of
we
the first thing that they ask me and I
I think you are asking is
why the accordion
and every year that passes becomes something
more complicated for me to answer
because I really sometimes wish to go back to
this place to that day at that moment with
So true when I chose the
accordion as my partner a moment
where I did not know what was going to happen I did not
I knew I would not change life
I knew I was going to be here in front of
your
and as close as I can get to
answer is that I wanted to find a
instrument that will bring me closer to the country
where I was born
so the first thing that I really started
how to feel attracted to him was
only its shape I think it’s a
instrument that you see it already seems to you
a piece of art I love its texture
his sound
there is something very curious about what was
tertiary here in my chest not and that
implied to me having to learn to
breathe with him and already last but not
less important I fell in love with his music
of melodies and lyrics that
they began to transport or to places that
they started to introduce me to people
that they were telling me stories and for
that was contextualized in a little bit with
what I want to say I’m going to sing a
fragment of a song teacher
carlos huertas the singer of fonseca
someone told me where are you from
sings so nice that party if it’s so
kind you that the other time I want
listen again to your guitar listen to me
company you are not from the valley of
magdalena or bolívar because if I lie
that his songs are from a land
unknown and I told him if you
inspires knowing the land where I am from
Much pleasure and much honor
I am from the center of the water
I was born in warm in front of the Caribbean Sea of
where they took me very little AI
Canyon baptized me and in all the
guajira I saw made me free touch
santander martínez a bola ni tú a
francisco the man to yelled at him
sir I pitre the great accordions
renown I give a pleasant and honest land
since his story bears my name I
I am that singer of fonseca the fatherland
beautiful of chema gómez
and this is just one of this treasure
musical we have in music
Colombian but it turns out that with this
song we just traveled all the
Caribbean
just we walk it just
meet people that surely for
Carlos Huertas were important and
we just recreated a story that if
I’m leaving I imagine suddenly I was in
a carlos orchard parranda was started
sing and suddenly they said hear you hear
he sang from where from here and he says
no no no no i am not a day nor here or
from there
I am from this place
and I really thought it was very valuable
this started to feel very
particular in me this happens to me when
I was studying he ran in the city
from bucaramanga and I started to feel this
need to have to go to these
places know there is something very particular
with this music and is that there is a capital
of the vallenato that is valledupar I started
do I have to go to that place and what
along my way in these 12 years I have
could be good in valledupar and
tour the entire Caribbean and realize
that all this that was in the songs
it was true those places if these exist
people also existed these
stories were really lived and I
this happens when I am between 12 and 16
years a time where one creates identity
and character
and knowing where it came from this
music made me wonder and from
where is Diana
it made me not even think about how little I
I knew not knowing where it came from
and the first thing that comes to me is the
word identity
recently on these trips that the
musicians we have had two months very
agitated that I had to remember many
countries and cities with many cultures
with many languages and opinion so stunned
so much information but I came up with something
here when I came back to the country and it was
anywhere in the world where you target
could have been born from any part of the
world where you could have
They put us here in Colombia
and I do not know but that tells me something
I realized that I am not a leaf
White
all like we came with a DNA kit
that our parents grandparents of
town the city where we believe in the
food music of our character
It’s not for free that I like the
Arepan santanderiana to the broth with egg
the mute is not for free that to me
say I’m bad
because we have stories behind
us that we have to learn to
value and love because after all
is what we are learning to love that
happened to be here in this present
calm down and start building that
future that in the long run is what
It really belongs to us and we finish
choosing with our own truths
and building our way
but how brave are we to take
that path and not suddenly go behind
so-and-so or go to the fixed or take
the race that we already know is going to
give money
because it is that throughout our
lives are going to have people the school
the university the work where we are going
to be imposing many truths
only truths happen to me when
I started playing accordion I hit with a
genre that was only played by
men and when I wanted to tell me no
women do not play accordion you
is going to look like a male you do not have the
strength instrument weighs good let a
side I’m going to play accordion and I started
play accordion and medium but you have
than doing it like a real man and
have to sing with a man like a
man if I eat like a male and
like a man if suddenly I do not want
do it like that and I started looking for my way
my way of doing it turns out that if the
women if we play running
when I start university to study
music
in an academy despite feeling an idea
that they were there for me trying to
inculcate and it was like European music
Classical academic is better than music
empirical folkloric of our folklore
Colombian and I got like this to me
I do not fit in the head starting because
I fell in love with music for this
part of the oral tradition
and because in what country are we unemployed if
one goes to yopal and finds harps and
fours and we jump for lime and
we found salsa and leave more
peaceful and find marimbas and jump
until córdoba and montería and we find
bands we found joints and jump to
cartagena champeta let’s go down to mounts of
Maria we have drums and bagpipes
valledupar with its vallenato let’s go down
the santanderes with Andean music
or tremendous musical wealth that I
they’re going to say that it’s better that this does not
has the same value
and when I wanted to start learning my
I walk as a singer with my songs
I started to feel some weak ideas
through the music industry and it was
without a label you can not do it
hit a song you have to make a
millionaire investment so you can
make music and the truth no no no I
convinced that not only that
there was that path and one way or another
I started to find other forms of
achieve this and it turned out that in February of
this year an ordinary girl with
eager to make music he released his album and
a month ago the most important academy
of music the latin grammy nominated me
as best album in the category
cumbia vallenato
[Music]
and I do not have a label
I did not hit a song
[Music]
and I have not made an investment either
millionaire to make music and do what
what do I want
and this really made me think that
these truths that impose on us can be
destroy but that our truths are
they must build
and to build you need love and in
love time and a magic word that
I was accompanied a few years ago and it is the
discipline
with discipline I had to pass
above anyone I have not had to
show anyone anything but if I
could you find me if you could give me
account of my virtues and of my
I have been able to convert flaws
virtues I also realized what
what I need in my life and what I do not
I need and that they want to include pérez
as vices people
I know that I am in a generation in a
time a little distracted we do not have this
element of technology that gives us
so many options but we also
It distracts a bit, they know, it takes us away from that
what are we?
of our truth of our present
moves us away from that unique part that you have
you that I do not have
we have forgotten about us
listen to us feel
to forgive us
to discover us
and today I’m accompanied by two women
very special for me
carolina from laos from barranquilla
[Applause]
has angle from cartagena you
only a small part of the family of
diana burgo
and through music what happened to me
me was that I managed to find me I got
Treasury account country
we have at the level of music and culture and of
people really but I also
I found that music makes
lack more women we are very
used to seeing scenarios and because
these and giant bands full of
men and with this I do not want to say that
let’s be better, but I do want to say
what is missing
I want to sing to you two of my songs
and also tell them where those are coming from
songs because they also have their
history I wanted to go back to one of the
most beautiful rhythms that we have is the
cumbia and also go back to these
songs that gave him his surname
true with golden alice fidelina carmen
gomez and nowadays one gives like scare
is the last name but in this song what
What I do is play with the
story of the donjuán
[Music]
what
you are in my dreams
he said elaborate
the pleasure of you are going to look and live
dreaming that I
although it touches me
You are in my dreams and I sing to you
I live work the pleasure of your kisses that
gives life and I live dreaming
one
in love
[Music]
telling everyone I want but me
good
falling in love
that is telling you all I love you but
to my name
but I live to kill the little head
and then leave
my love to later leave and I return
falling forward and telling the
but he does not say anything to me
[Music]
[Music]

m
at the end of the capacity day because

following you all I love you but me

it’s a traditional vallenato I always dreamed
with being able to get back to those melodies
that transport us to places to
old people love the valley talks about
these loves suddenly we’ve had
of very small not these children that
they end as in a permanent longing
that suddenly one sometimes goes and remembers
and there are still things there
[Music]

strong to take my terrorists back to
