Discovering a destination through the sound of its music is as attractive as tasting its typical dishes. It is part of a trip to the origins of a culture that seduces you and invites you -or incites you in some cases- to dance.

In my state of Zulia (Venezuela), there is a rhythm that for a long time identifies us as a region and that in the country has become synonymous with the arrival of the Decembrine era. I mean the bagpipe. It is not that instrument that many associate with Scotland but rather a series of instruments that, coupled, are the best version of our cultural mix.

The furro is inheritance of the Spanish Zambomba, like the four and its ancestor, the guitar; the tambora shows our African root and thus those responsible for this rhythm and its variants are shelling.

Here are some of its variants:

Many examples of really beautiful music. I did only know the bagpipe like you said originating from Scotland. It's a very lively, happy music. I'm don't speek Spanish but the sounds are so inviting to dance to. Great blog.
