Joropo Style Overview
Joropo Music Description
Joropo is a folk sound from the "Llano" (plains) regions of Venezuela and Colombia. Joropo is performed primarily with a harp (used to create hard-hitting percussive rhythms), guitar, maraccas, percussion and very rarely, a keyboard. Joropo is the best known substyle of Musica Llanera, which is considered music of the cattle-herding folks of Venezuela & Eastern Colombia.
