Album lore

Elías Morón y Su Conjunto Vallenato, issued March 17, 1967 on Discos Fuentes, stands as a modest yet earnest example of mid-century vallenato from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. The twelve tracks, including “Sueño Eterno” and “La hamaca chiquita,” feature the traditional instrumentation and rhythmic motifs characteristic of the genre, with accordion-led melodies weaving through guacharaca and caja percussion. Morón’s ensemble captures the rustic charm and narrative lyricism that define vallenato’s lineage during this period.While not widely documented or heavily circulated, this 1967 release offers a direct signal of vallenato’s enduring regional resonance before its later popularization. It preserves a snapshot of local musical practices, performed with the straightforward conviction of a conjunto devoted to the genre’s dance and storytelling functions. For crate-diggers and archivists, the record provides an artifact of vallenato’s foundational canon as curated by Discos Fuentes, a label synonymous with Colombian folk traditions.
