Vallenato Negro: A documentary by Proyecto Juglares highlights a group of master accordion players from the region of María la Baja who interpret what is commonly known as the “Sabanero” style. These masters not only have a great knowledge about this music, but also about nature, agriculture and fishing. They also interpret old styles which are no longer part of the Vallenato tradition of today and consequently they are getting lost. María la Baja is also one of the places in Colombia where the Bullerengue tradition is very strong, and it is an immense part of everyday life. It is an inevitable influence on the life of these accordion Maestros.
