Hi!

Welcome to Venezuela's uniqueness page!  Venezuela is a Grace land; it is the place where our Lord created the most beautiful landscapes and kind people. Here is our first sample,  the Angel Fall (El Salto Angel); it is the highest waterfall of the world. What a proud! This is a good reason to come and visit us. Enjoy this short video while we work on the construction of this site.

Music

Since Gustavo Dudamel and the National Youth Orchestra performend in London's Proms in 2007, our music has spread around the world. In radio stations belonging to the PRS, like the Minnesota Public Radio Station, Seattle's King FM, one can listen to presenters talking about the "System" and Maestro Abreu, as an instroduction to the music they'll broadcast. The repertoire goes from classics like Mahler, Beethoven, to not so classic like Bernstein's Mambo.

The city of Los Angeles, literally, went crazy with the welcome they gave to the new Philharmonic conductor: Gustavo, as they call him. The innaugural concert closed with a wonderful firework show, as the Philharmonic conducted by Dudamel played Beethoven's  Ode to Joy, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TPlg_90c44&feature=related

But, in the video below you'll have the opportunity to enjoy one of the most pure manifestations of our "creole" music. It's called Pajarillo, the translation could be like little bird. This kind of music is played in the planes of our country by country men, after they finish their daily work.
