Gente valiente

With his smooth, dynamic voice soaring over tropical grooves, Silvestre Dangond transforms the fierce rhythms of vallenato into a Latin pop dance-off. Whether he’s pouring out heartbreak poetry against the reggaeton bounce of “Es Mentira” or belting out sensual confessions over the accordion-driven club jam “Ella”, the Colombian crooner fills <i>Gente Valiente</i> with joy. Fifteen years into his career, he knows how to deliver romantic power ballads like “Somos Culpables” or the slinky bachata of “Lo Que a Mí Me Gusta” with irresistible verve.
