	Musical Forms of Venezuela
		The joropo is a form from the plains of Venezuela, and is a couple's dance where the man (dressed in khaki pants, white shirt and straw hat) stomps a very strong 3 beat with his feet while holding his hands in the back and dancing around the woman.
		There are 16 different types of joropos in Venezuela, and some have simple harmonic structures, while others tend to modulate often to different keys.
		The main influence for the joropo comes from the flamenco music from Andalucia, Spain, and, even though it sounds different from flamenco, the rhapsodic way in which the cuatro plays, as well as the stomping of the feet, definitely shows this influence.

		Drawing from centuries-old African, Spanish, and Amerindian cultural influences that contributed to the region’s unique mestizo (mixed) culture, the joropo is created by ranching people with a love of cattle, horses, music and dance.
		There are two types of joropo songs: the hard-driving golpe (from golpear “to hit, to strike”) and the slower, more lyrical pasaje.
		The musical instruments used in a traditional joropo ensemble are harp (32-string chordophone), cuatro (four string-strummed lute), bandola (four-string, pear-shaped chordophone played with a plectrum), bass (upright or electric) and maracas (gourd shakers filled with seeds).
