[edit] Gaitas? Not so much these days
Although Guaco started out as a gaita band, they slowly developed their own sound: Not quite gaita, not quite salsa, not quite anything. Their sound is usually called "ritmo Guaco". This stylistic shift was most evident in the late 70s and through the 80s, when their sound was at its most eclectic. Although they have continued to include one traditional gaita in every album, they are really doing their own thing 99% of the time. Songs like "Comer", "Un Cigarrito y un Café", "Cuatro Estaciones", "Ya No Eres Tú", "Que Nadie Se Mueva", etc. etc. etc. can hardly be considered gaitas. I'm a Guaco fan, but not exactly a scholar on the band, so I'm leaving this attempt at a correction in the talk page, hoping someone more knowledgeable can edit the article proper later on. Or maybe I'll do it myself after I brush up on the facts. Saludos--RicardoC 23:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gaitas, Jazz, Funk and the rest...
This is my first edition ever and I just had to improve this article. I hope to have got it right, since I'm a Guaco fan as well. I didn't figure out how to set up links to other articles, as the words "Salsa", "Rock'n Roll" and "Vallenato" must have them, so any fixing of that would be appreciated.
