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.

Salsa: Bailatino - Llego Bailatino
A proper rough-edged salsa dura track from the full lineup of Jose "Cheo" Navarro's group Bailatino, with two vocalists, two trombones and flute. This really swings. Cabilla.
