• Percussive strings and maracas, dynamic vocal expression and a full throttle pace have earned the joropo of the Orinoco Plains of Colombia and Venezuela its place among the most exciting regional musics of Latin America.

• On this, their second album for Smithsonian Folkways, the internationally acclaimed Colombian ensemble Cimarrón ( wild bull) live up to their name with a tightly arranged, explosive rendition of their tropical tradition
