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.

Venezuelan rock group Atkinson have a go at Mariachi chic on "Asi es Como Te Amo", the first single from their debut album "La Banda".
Shot in a hairdressing salon in Caracas, the video was directed by Peter Ponk (Pedro Gonzalez) and features cameos by Julio "Chulius" Briceño, lead singer of Los Amigos Invisibles, Danel Sarmiento, the drummer of Desorden Publico, singer Nana Cadavieco and scenester Ingrid Dreissig, among others.
