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.

Los Amigos Invisibles - Sexy
Venezuela's best party band take some inspiration from the spoof comedy Airline for the video to "Sexy", a great song from their 1998 album "The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera" on David Byrne's label Luaka Bop.
If only flying was this much fun.
