From drumming with its roots in Africa, to Spanish-influenced guitar and harp music and the indigenous contribution of maracas, Venezuelan music is largely unknown outside the country.
With a blog based on videos of key groups and individuals I hope this music will reach a wider public and get the attention it deserves.
Joropo, calypso, tambores, salsa, cumbia, pop, rock, Latin jazz, electronica - even slushy love songs by soap opera stars - Venezuela has it all.

Musica Llanera: Gaban
Everyone raves about Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela but check out Carlos Miguel Meza and Junior Parra. Carlos does his best impression of Jack Black in School of Rock on the bandola here as he shows us how a "Gaban" should be played.
