RE: ADSactly Folklore: Traditional dances of Venezuela-II
This second installment of the work on the traditional dances of Venezuela is very good, @luces. You make a precise presentation and the incorporation of the videos makes it much more illustrative.
Although I am from the eastern part of Venezuela (Sucre State), I have a great appreciation for the folklore of Lara State, from where they are Zaragoza and Tamunangue. In addition to their dance (particularly the latter, in which dance and theatre merge), I especially like their music (most of all that of Zaragoza), where the Spanish and African components are clearly mixed. My visits to Sanare and Tocuyo have allowed me to enjoy them up close.
Greetings.
Thank you Jose for your comment, definitely these dances are very beautiful, I as a native of the state Lara I am a lover of tamunangue, as a child I danced in my school. The zaragozas are quite a spectacle and what is most surprising is the fidelity of the people of Sanare to this tradition.
