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.
I must confess this is the first time I hear from DAME PA MATALA. I feel I bit embarrassed that I'm Venezuelan and haven't heard from such a great group like this...but I think the fact that I've been out of the country for 12 years already has made me hear less of the new "prospectos musicales" that Venezuela is producing. I really appreciate the fact that you have created this blog. It keeps me a step closer to my Venezuelan roots and music. By the way, I want to recommend a great website: Barquisimeto.com. This is a great website with music and news from Barquisimeto. Please check this website out and the podcast that goes with it.
