For more information on Venezuelan music I strongly recommend the Radio 3 Guide to World Music session on Venezuela as a taster.

Also Sounds of Venezuela where there is a large collection of songs that can be listened to online. Here you can listen to different styles of music from the country. For more joropo music I can strongly recommend Cheo Hurtado’s music. For a sample of Cheo’s style click here
