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.

Cuarto Poder - Fuerza Pal Latino
Venezuelan hip hop group Cuarto Poder drop their debut US album "In Tha House" on 19 October, featuring the hit tracks "Playita Arenita" and “El Que Llevo, Llevo” with Julio Briceño, lead singer of the Grammy-award winning Venezuelan band Los Amigos Invisibles.
When I get a video of a track from the new album I'll put it up. In the meantime here's "Fuerza Pal Latino" from their second album "Tamos Bien".
