February 18, 2021 6:00-7:00PM Virtual Concert: Music and Rhythms of Venezuela with Michael Esposito and Eduardo Betancourt

 

The extraordinary beauty and diversity of traditional Venezuelan music – distinct musical genres with versions ranging from coastal plains to mountains to savannah and jungle of Venezuela and their representative rhythms – will be highlighted by researcher Michael Esposito and accomplished musician Eduardo Betancourt. The presentation features a slide show, brief videos, and live demonstrations of the rhythms on key instruments in Venezuelan music’s traditional repertoire (the harp, cuatro, and maracas).

The presentation will focus on the joropo, characterized by its energetic sound featuring the diatonic harp as the lead instrument, and the zapateo, which can be traced to its Andalusian origin, transformed and incorporated into the lifestyle of the Venezuelan llaneros (cattle herders). Other rhythms featured in this presentation will include the pasaje, the Venezuelan merengue, and the danza.

La extraordinaria belleza y diversidad de la música tradicional venezolana, distintos géneros musicales con versiones que van desde las llanuras costeras hasta las montañas, la sabana y la selva de Venezuela y sus ritmos representativos, serán destacadas por el investigador Michael Esposito y el renombrado músico Eduardo Betancourt. La presentación incluye una presentación de diapositivas, videos breves y demostraciones en vivo de los ritmos de los instrumentos clave del repertorio tradicional de la música venezolana (arpa, cuatro y maracas).

La presentación se centrará en el joropo, caracterizado por su sonido enérgico con el arpa diatónica como instrumento principal, y el zapateo, que se remonta a su origen andaluz, transformado e incorporado al estilo de vida de los llaneros venezolanos. Otros ritmos presentados en esta presentación incluirán el pasaje, el merengue venezolano y la danza.
