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.
