notes
Seven years and a thousand shows later, Very Be Careful rises from the ashes of the latest booty-shakin’ firestorm with a raised glass in honor of the fuel that fed the fire, LOVE. Their new album, ñACAS, soothes any itch those seven years might have excited, and joins the catalog of the rootsest vallenato rhythms that VBC not only plays, but lives.
From the Colombian Caribbean land of fishers and farmers, lovers and assassins, where accordion narrated tales spill from shops, homes, bars, and beauty salons, VBC has imported a vintage sound and an urgent agenda – DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!!! And, like it or not, punker or sonidero, new-ager or new-waver, b-boy or cowboy, sober, drunk, or saved, few can elude the rump rousing radar of a VBC parranda.
Who else has dazzled bills as opposite as Joe Strummer and Carlos Vives, Murphy’s Law and Antibalas, Kronos Quartet and Grupo Niche, at venues as diverse as N.Y.’s Copacabana and Berkeley’s Gilman St. Warehouse, L.A.’s HOBs and N.Y.’s SOBs, Central Park Summerstage, SXSW, and Japan’s Fujirock Festival, East L.A.’s Self Help Graphics and Harlem’s Carlito’s Gallery, getting solid airplay on commercial sonidero stations like California’s Cumbia Caliente and El Sonido while being played on all the local “alternative” stations - KXLU, KCRW, KSPC, KPFK, WKCR, WFMU - as well as internet radio in Japan and Australia and a few club hits in Argentina and Mexico; when it comes to adaptability and pertinence, the VBC are champs, and vallenato music can break the barriers of “cool” and raze the stakes of “hip”.
Along with Pinto Record’s 1998 El Niño (produced by Money Mark), De Volada Records’1999 CD EP Cheap Chillin, Downtown Pijao’s 2001 CD The Rose, 2002 CD/2LP El Grizz, and the 2003 film The Tooth (which stars the band), comes the newest in vallenato flavor and the oldest in human tradition, ñACAS.

author: El CaleñoI just dropped this on some house guests last Friday and it was ON. I need to know when these kats are coming to MA. VBC, let a Colombian know when to expect you. I'm not sure how to even recommend this album except that you really, really should buy it.

This band is great, they even get me moving when I'm at work!!
cd and band are great
author: ferchoThis is a great band period. Their vallenato and cumbia playing only get better with each album. This is my third CD of VBC, and so far my favorite. I'm from Colombia and love vallenato, these guys can definitely play. If you have a chance check them out live, they're a great live band that gets you moving and dancing.
