El cafetal neighborhood. Woman from a coffee farmer's family with her son on the floor during a hot day. A coffee bag used as a pillow. . While rough hewn and leathery in sound, vallenato lyrics are usually plain written and sugarcane sweet. Everyday events, passion, eternal love, village folklore, travelogues and miracles blur in the telling; voices crack, crackle with emotion in a music that so influenced Gabriel Garcia Marquez that he once described One Hundred Years of Solitude as a 350 page vallenato and inspired charcters such as ".Remedios la Bella".
