Review by Christa Vinciguerra

Dos Grandes is an album that brings together the legendary Colombian vallenato singer Diomedes Díaz and accordionist Nicolas 'Colacho' Mendoza. The album showcases the unique and captivating sound of vallenato music, a genre that has its roots in the Caribbean coast of Colombia.

The album features 12 tracks, each one showcasing the musical prowess of both musicians. From the upbeat and lively "La Gota Fria" to the emotional and heartfelt "Mi Primera Cana", Dos Grandes is a testament to the talent of both Diomedes and Colacho.

The album's production is top-notch, with each track expertly engineered to highlight the nuances of the vallenato sound. The instrumentation is outstanding, with the accordion and percussion perfectly complementing Diomedes' powerful vocals.

About Diomedes Díaz y Nicolas 'Colacho' Mendoza

Diomedes was born in 1957 and raised on a farm called "Carrizal" on the outskirts of La Junta; his father, Rafael Maria Díaz, and his mother, Elvira Maestre, were very poor, something that Diomedes always sought to change. His childhood was spent helping his parents and eight brothers with farm duties, while he was musically influenced by his locally renowned uncle, Martin Elias. His friends nicknamed him El Chivato ("the little goat"), making fun of his young vibrating voice; he became part of the attraction for every party in the house. Eventually Díaz' uncle decided to help him train his voice and compose songs; Díaz quickly mastered his vocal training and was invited to perform at parties. Eager to succeed, he moved to Valledupar to work as a gardener. He also worked as a messenger and office boy for a local radio station, Radio Guatapuri, pursuing the opportunity to convince disc jockeys to play his future songs. Between 1974 and 1975, he got his first song recording deal with Jorge Quiróz and Luciano Poveda, a well known vallenato group; they recorded the song Cariñito de Mi Vida which put Díaz in the spotlight.

Esto es la calidad sencilla mostrada como una soberbia,.. El acordeón de colacho, la forma de cantar de diomedez, la temática de la canción compuesta por Héctor zuleta,.. Hablar de calidad en esta canción es redundar.
