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.

SXSW music fest moves to Patafunk's Venezuelan groove
Venezuelan DJ, producer, singer and musician Patafunk has returned to the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas, with a banging new dance track with Slimmy Neutron called "I Want To See You Again, Yo Quiero Verte Otra Vez" featuring SkipRage.
In 2010 Patafunk rocked the SXSW with a laid-back Summery groove "Bailando".
