Venezuelan folk music is a rich and diverse genre deeply rooted in the country’s regional traditions, blending Indigenous, African, and Spanish influences. It features a wide array of rhythms such as joropo, pasaje, and golpe, often performed with traditional instruments like the cuatro, maracas, harp, and bandola. The genre emphasizes poetic storytelling, celebrating rural life, love, and national pride with emotive vocals and lively, syncopated beats. From the virtuosic strings of Antonio Lauro to the vibrant llanero songs of Cristóbal Jiménez, Venezuelan folk captures the soul of its people, passing cultural identity down through heartfelt melodies and spirited performances.
