Average Customer Review:

Shotguns and Accordions looks at vallenata, the hot, jumpy dance music of Columbia found in the area with one of the worst concentrations of organized crime and drug trade in the world. Mixing accordions, electric bass, percussion and lusty, open throated vocals, vallenata emerged as a popular music when the drug mafias rose to prominence in the 1960s and became the soundtrack for their feverish life-style. The film also looks at the musical traditions of Columbia which helped shape vallenata - from the vibrantly rhythmic, African-rooted cumbia music to the elegant traditional flute music of the various Indian peoples.
