The four canonical vallenato airs: paseo moderate-tempo-narrative, merengue (different from Dominican) faster-6/8, son slower-double-meter, and puya fastest-rural-virtuosic. The lyric-tradition is heavily narrative-storytelling, often improvised, and the Vallenato-Festival-de-la-Leyenda annual competition (since 1968) codifies regional standards.", "recipe": "classic
