Alberto Pacheco Balmaceda was born on June 23, 1936 in Barranquilla. One of Colombia’s most feted accordion players.
Alberto Pacheco was born in Baranquilla, in the heart of cumbia country. He began as a guitar accompanist to romantic singers before immersing himself in cumbia and playing accordion. His original inspiration was the mythical “Francisco el Hombre”, a story-telling troubadour accordionist, legendary through his duel with the Devil on a remote valley pathway. Francisco won, of course. And vallenato – in the valleys - was born. After making various other recordings, Pacheco launched Los Cumbiamberos and had a first hit, in 1961, with Al Almanecer (To Daybreak), demonstrating an extraordinary versatile technique. Santo Domingo is instrumental but for the whooping onomatopoeic choruses and cheers of encouragement, the discreet acoustic guitar lines reminiscent of Pacheco’s early years. In 1971, he was voted King of the Vallenato Legends at the annual Valledupar festival. He died in Valledupar on September 29, 1983.

el buen vallenato subir el LP completo por fa bendiciones
@armandosteevensonruiz3009
José Álvarez, de los buenos cantantes; una de las voces más fuertes del folclor lo conocí cantando en el conjunto los guapachosos del César de Juan Urbaez y con Los Playoneros del César de Ovidio Granados...

Mi estimado tuto baleta, por favor sube el resto de este Lp como homenaje meritorio a Alberto Pacheco, uno de los mejores reyes del festival y una voz tan prodigiosa como la del siempre recordado José Alvarez.
Si no estoy mal esta fue la última producción de Alberto Pacheco; lo único malo que hizo Pacheco fue haberle ganado en franca lid al pollo vallenato excelente también pero así son los concursos que el que se descuida pierde, ya le había ocurrido al viejo cuya corona estaba decidida desde antes de iniciar el festival pero festejo antes del fallo y no se presentó.
Recordemos que los mejores también pierden si no pregúntenle a Mike Tyson.
Pacheco fue justo ganador, en la puya regó a todos y los otros aires también los interpretó muy bien.

* el viejo Emiliano Zuleta Baquero, perdió con el mejor esa noche; Alejandro Durán Díaz.
