Adventure has never been a task for VBC. A Caribbean soul and a California heart have
sustained two decades of ceaseless romp-downs and raucous times for L.A.�s vallenato
veteranos, inciting 10s of 1000s of earthlings, and even some ETs, to boogie to the Colombian
coastal beat. From the debaucherous streets of: Austin�s SXSW, Germany�s WorldCupTour �06,
L.A.'s SunsetJunctionStreetFair; to the cultural pinnacles of: Chicago�s SummerDanceSeries,
New York�s CentralParkSummerstage, L.A.s� GrandPerformances & Levitt Pavilion, London�s
HammersmithApollo; colossal concerts: L.A. Sports Arena CumbiaFest,
GlastonburyMusicFestival & Bestival UK, FujiRockFestival & AsagiriJam Japan; clubs and hubs:
N.Y.�s SOBs, L.A.�s HOBs, backyard BBQs, VeryBeCareful has tamed the beasts within or
unleashed the ones without, helping to popularize the beauty of the 1950s-1970s sound of
Colombian vallenato and cumbia.
Bootlegged across the Americas, pumped at the clubs, and ripped in cyberspace and airwaves
around the world, VeryBeCareful forges ahead globetrotting alongside legends and antiheros:
JoeStrummer, AlfredoGutierrez, Antibalas, CarlosVives, GrupoNiche, KronosQuartet,
GogolBordello, BuenaVistaSocialClub, JackWhite, CelsoPi�a, VampireWeekend,
FrukoYSusTesos. Their infamous twenty year traditions hosting old school �dances� for
Valentine�sDay, NewYear�sEve, 20deJulio, Halloween, and the legendary July Fourth Brooklyn
�CumbiaUnderTheSparks� rooftop affair, has brought together people from around the globe
itchin� for those early roots sounds that prove a stripped down parranda is the fiercest and
funnest way to party.
