Peach, Pharaoh and Purple Gold of Venezuelan Nu Rave group Todosantos have taken their dayglo disco circus from Caracas to Brooklyn, NYC. Here they join the likes of Cansei de Ser Sexy and Simian Mobile Disco with a big brash tune from their Acid Girlzzz EP that owes loads to the early 90s. It's a banging tune. Disfrutala.
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.
