Beso - 


AL GALOPE, A COLUMBIAN BAND -- performs music from the Colombian/Venezuelan Llanos (YAH-nos) or plains, a geographically and culturally unique area of Latin America. This music has evolved over the last 500 years from the blending of indigenous music styles of nomadic Indians, and the string instruments and rhythms brought from Spain by Jesuit priests who settled the Llanos in the 16th Century. The music from the Llanos is essentially cowboy music.
Due to the distinctly characteristic syncopation and difficult harp techniques used in the music of the Llanos, it is rarely performed in its authentic style outside the region, and hence it remains one of Latin America's best kept secrets. Music from the Llanos is very melodic, often very upbeat, and easily liked by audiences of any cultural background or age. The group brings to life the intricate rhythms of the Llanero folk harp, the cuatro (four-stringed guitar), and the maracas — a feast for the eyes and ears!

Plenty of FREE PARKING
