Serenata Guayanesa
¡Canta con Venezuela! Sing with Venezuela! Serenata Guayanesa is a musical ensemble, but much more - it is a living treasure of Venezuela’s musical and cultural heritage. Founded in 1971 in Guayana, the southeastern region along the Orinoco River, by four college students who liked to serenade family and friends, the group swiftly rose to national acclaim through its pioneering interpretations of music in many different styles of folk music from across Venezuela. Join these masters of folk song performance, and ¡Canta con Venezuela! Sing with Venezuela! 64 minutes, 40 page booklet with bilingual notes and photos.This album is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions Series of Latino music albums, produced with support by the Smithsonian Latino Center.
