Joropo in Venezuela — UNESCO musical heritage film

Venezuelan joropo musicians and dancers documented by UNESCO

Meet the recording

UNESCO's film introduces Venezuelan joropo, a family of regional practices rather than one fixed arrangement. Listen for the fast-moving relation of plucked strings, maracas and voice, and observe the associated partnered dance.
