Eneas Perdomo was a beloved Venezuelan folk singer, renowned for his distinctive voice and his dedication to the musical genre known as Joropo, which he often intertwined with narratives of the country's plains, or llanos. Born on June 8, 1930, in Apure State, Perdomo started his musical journey at an early age, inspired by the life and culture of the Venezuelan llanero, a cowboy-like figure deeply rooted in the identity of the region. Throughout his prolific career, he became a symbol of Venezuelan traditional music, championing the stories, emotions, and landscape of his homeland through his heartfelt compositions and performances.

Celebrated for his lyrical prowess and authentic representation of the llano lifestyle, Eneas Perdomo's music serves as an aural tapestry of the plains, often evoking the rustic beauty of the land and the spirit of its people. His albums, such as "Adiós A Mi Tierra" and "Apure Siempre Es Apure," not only earned him a devoted following in Venezuela but also helped to bring international attention to the country's folk music tradition. His legacy endures through his melodies and lyrics, solidifying his status as an integral figure of Venezuelan folk music and a guardian of the llanero heritage. Despite passing away on February 25, 2011, Eneas Perdomo's contributions to the Venezuelan cultural landscape continue to be celebrated and revered to this day.
