Joropo is cowboy music from Eastern Colombia. It’s lively, happy music played on a variety of stringed instruments plus maracas & vocals. The instrumental tracks are especially outstanding and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Smithsonian has provided their usual fascinating, informative notes for the full scoop. It’s all wonderful and everything is worth a play, but I especially liked the following. This is good stuff, folks and the band is amazing. 1. Fast strings, soaring vocals, excellent energy. Wow! 2. Excellent uptempo instrumental w/great strings, esp. the harp. 3. Fast strings in an almost flamenco-esque instrumental. 5. Another sensational upbeat instrumental. 6. Strong vocals, lively strings, what more can I say? 8. The maracas add a nice hissing perc to this fast instrumental. 10. Wicked fast strings highlight another great instrumental. 12. Fast harp instrumental. Professional harpist, do not attempt. 14. Warm & melodic instrumental w/great strings & perc. 15. Vocals/strings…his horse died, but he sounds happy. 16. Another w/a flamenco-type sound. Upbeat instrumental. 18. Dueling solos. Guitar/maracas/bandola, etc. trading focus. 8/2004 | ||
