On the 'Editorial review': Vallenato is not from the Andes!

"The album is great, like most productions of Carlos & Cia.
My comment is about the "Editorial Review" that accompanies this album here.
Just for common basic knowledge, this must be corrected: the Vallenato IS NOT a "traditional ANDEAN sound"!! It is precisely a sound from the Colombian Caribbean plains!! It is fundamentally a tropical rythym, with many variations.
