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.

Lo Que No Sabes Tu - Choroni beach stars in video
One of the best beaches in Venezuela, Choroni's Playa Grande, plays a starring role in the latest video by Potro Alvarez "Lo Que No Sabes Tu".
It seems like a fitting way to mark international beach day.
