A proper rough-edged salsa dura track from the full lineup of Jose "Cheo" Navarro's group Bailatino, with two vocalists, two trombones and flute. This really swings. Cabilla.
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.

Percussionist Jose "Cheo" Navarro's group Bailatino show off their salsa chops in a live performance of "Lo Que Se Da No Se Quita". Listen out to Alberto Crespo's banging piano montuno. Suave.
