Traditional Cumbias and Vallenatos from the Los Angeles Very Be Careful, who can be credited as one of L.A. (and perhaps the US)’s first cumbia and vallenato crossover bands.


Influenced by the hip hop and punk rock of the time, the Colombian American brothers – along with band members Dante Ruiz, Craig Martin and Richard Panta – brought a raw, bass-heavy approach to the vallenato tradition. They began playing house parties and bars around Westlake and soon gained a diverse cross-section of local fans.
