JOROPO
The Joropo is a musical style resembling the fandango, and an accompanying dance. It has African Native South American and European influences and originated in the plains called "Los Llanos" of what is now Venezuela and Colombia. It is a fundamental genre of música criolla. Also the most popular folk rhythim, "Alma Llanera" is a joropo song. In the 18th century the llaneros started the world "joropo" instead of the word "fandango", which was the word used at the time for party and dance. I think that joropo dance is happy and way of expresing free for our country, it dance is beautiful and important symbol and our identity like colombian people.
