Cimarrón performs "Joropo Quitapesares" at 2011 Smithsonian Folklife Festival
Cimarrón is a Grammy-nominated, all-star ensemble of instrumentalists, singers, and dancers from Colombia. Their fast-paced, explosive "música llanera" (plains music) is among the most exciting regional music coming from Latin America today. Propelled by maracas, percussive strings, and voice, the group certainly lives up to the meaning of their name "Cimarrón"- the wild bull.
