In this episode, Gavilán catches up with a childhood friend, and accordionist named Paloma. She grew up listening to norteña music, and tells the story of how Lolo introduced her to vallenato, a musical style that found a new home in Monterrey, a city that already boasted a passion for the accordion.

This week’s recommendation is Los Vallenatos de la Cumbia. Founded in 1985 in Monterrey, they were the first musical group from Mexico to become commercially successful playing Colombian cumbia and vallenato. In their unique style, of course.
