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.

La Vida Boheme - Radio Capital
The stunning debut video from Caracas rock band La Vida Boheme of their first single: "Radio Capitol".
With the poise and attack of British bands like Franz Ferdinand and the Arctic Monkeys and the old-school punk swagger of The Clash and The Ramones, La Vida Boheme have brought a new sound and a new aesthetic to the Venezuelan rock scene.
Formed in 2006, La Vida Boheme are Rafael Perez, Daniel De Sousa, Sebastian Ayala and Henry D’Arthenay. The video was directed by Carl Zitelmann.
Gabba gabba hey!
