The Encuentro Vallenato Femenino ( Women's Vallenato Encounter), also known as Evafe or EVAFE, is a vallenato music festival that has been held annually in the Colombian city of Valledupar since 2016. Evafe hosts several competitions for female accordionists, as well as for singers and songwriters.
Evafe is organised by the Decuplum Foundation (Spanish: ), directed by Sandra Arregocés. The competitions are open to women who perform vallenato, a genre of music from the Colombian Caribbean that has traditionally been male-dominated. Authors of an academic article on women who have won competitions at the Vallenato Legend Festival wrote that Evafe was possibly created "in response to the absence of female winners in the different categories of the Vallenato Legend Festival".
The first edition of Evafe took place in November 2016 at the in Valledupar, and was dedicated to Rita Fernández Padilla; competitions were held in five categories. Since then, Evafe has taken place annually. Several spin-off Evafe events have been held outside of Colombia, in countries including Mexico, Panama, and the Dominican Republic.
Evafe hosts competitions in several categories, whose winners are given the title of "queen" (Spanish: ). Five awards are given to accordionists:
The other competition categories of Evafe are Singer (Spanish: ), Songwriter (Spanish: ), and Best group (Spanish: ), which was awarded from 2016 to 2018.
In 2025, in addition to the usual competitions, a competition between past winners of the professional accordionst category was held, and the winner Wendy Corzo was given the title "sovereign of the professional accordion" (Spanish: ).
