Are there any tabs for Venezuelan tunes for uke out there? or anywhere else in South America?

"La Gota Friar" is a Colombian tune, but everybody in the Spanish speaking parts of the continent knows this one. (Technically it is a Vallenato song, but for anyone outside of Colombia, it's plain old Cumbia.)
The song is from the '30s, but it was a hit for Carlos Vices back in the 1990's.
Edit: I thought that I should add the fact that "La Gota Friar" (Cold Sweat) is about an ACCORDION FIGHT. How can you top that?
For South American music more generally, there's the Argentinian folk singer, guitarist and composer Atahualpa Yupanqui, who sometimes performed in native garb.
