Musica Llanera

One of my favourite types of music is from the plains, that is, muisca llanera. In North America, the harp is a gentle instrument, cared for like an aging parent, kept away from drafts, but in Venezuela and Colombia it's a man's instrument and played at top speed.

I find it energetic and enjoyable. I couldn't resist and went to the Feria de las Colonias about 4 times just to hang around and enjoy the music, also to eat "Patacon con todo", lulada, and chiguiro. Also merengon, which a person should eat about once a year.
