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.

Omar Acedo - Volvi Por Ti
Venezuelan singer Omar Acedo leaves behind his days in Salserin, Bacanos and Calle Ciega for a stab at a solo career with his new single "Volvi Por Ti", a romantic pop-ballad.
Filmed in Colombia by local director Daniel Duran, the video shows the 26-year-old Maracucho driving a Ford mustang round the country lanes outside Bogota.
