Review by Vickye Fisher

Alfredo Gutiérrez Y Sus Estrellas have released yet another remarkable album, La Curruta La Cotorra. The album is a perfect blend of traditional Colombian music, cumbia, and vallenato, all infused with Gutiérrez's signature accordion playing.

The album begins with the lively track "La Curruta," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a perfect dance tune. The album also includes the title track, "La Cotorra," a classic vallenato that features Gutiérrez's virtuosic accordion playing and the band's tight rhythm section.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "El Chanchullito," a cumbia that showcases the band's versatility and Gutiérrez's ability to blend different genres seamlessly. The track features a catchy melody and infectious rhythm that will have listeners dancing along.

Another highlight of the album is "La Pava Congona," a traditional Colombian song that has been given a modern twist. Gutiérrez's accordion playing is particularly impressive on this track, and the band's backing vocals add an extra layer of depth to the song.
