You can check Pacho Rada and other great colombian legends/accordionists in a beautiful documentary called EL ACORDEON DEL DIABLO (LA ESENCIA DEL VALLENATO Y LA CUMBIA) directed by stefan schwietert
the title is also conected with this pact with some devil in the colombian jungle
un saludo desde la paz bolivia!

Here´s another classic vallenato figure, Maestro Pacho Rada

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNU2NDEM1aU

talking about:

Crossroads and musician´s pacts with the devil (which shows the blues legend might be of African origin)

How he “stole” his wife (and then had fight to keep her)

Playing at a party that lasted “40 days and 40 nights without sleep”

…vallenato guys are pretty hardcore (then again they are colombian)

I was thinking similar along the lines of peter,
all this about different folks and what they added to it
and if their names are important or not w/ no mention
of the crucial components coming straight to (from) hell…

Thank goodness for this….I’ve been screwing electrocrunk tracks all morning and was feeling like kind of a shit for putting my name on them.

weird. I’m working at a radio station and just heard the original being aired, but that’s not why I’m commenting. Just amused that a song that jacked the clash’s straight to hell would inspire theses cultural musing.
