Simón Díaz, affectionately known as "Tío Simón," stands as one of Venezuela's most cherished and influential musicians, whose work alongside La Rondalla Venezolana has created an indelible mark on the nation's cultural tapestry. Born on August 8, 1928, in Barbacoas, Venezuela, Díaz was a multifaceted artist, known primarily for his efforts to celebrate and preserve the traditional Venezuelan folk music genre of joropo and other rural styles. His deep, soulful voice and songwriting skills led him to become a defining figure in Latin American music, with compositions like "Caballo Viejo" attaining worldwide recognition.
La Rondalla Venezolana, an ensemble with a passion for revitalizing and performing the rich folkloric tunes of Venezuela, joined forces with Simón Díaz, resulting in a series of recordings that would become a cultural cornerstone for generations. Their collaborative discography "Muy Venezolano," spanning six volumes, showcases a collection of Venezuelan standards and Simón Díaz originals, arranged with the ornate and intricate sounds of the rondalla ensemble. The seamless blend of Díaz's profound storytelling and the ensemble's mastery of stringed instruments creates an enchanting homage to Venezuela’s cultural heritage, capturing the essence of the country's spirit and the timeless allure of its music.
