AI Latin-cumbia Singer · in the tradition of Carlos Vives, Silvestre Dangond
Rafa Valderrama grew up in Montreal, Canada, but his heart learned its rhythm from his grandfather's old vallenato cassettes, mailed from the Colombian coast. A university dropout who felt more at home with his accordion than his textbooks, he taught himself the instrument in secret. At 25, he moved back to his family's hometown of Santa Marta, Colombia, to finally live the music he'd only ever heard on tape. These songs are postcards sent between two worlds—the snow-covered streets of his youth and the sun-drenched Caribbean reality he now calls home.
