Colombia's Grammy-nominated Cimarrón ensemble is composed of masters of the joropo llanero tradition - festive and joyous dance music that is practiced along the cattle-rearing plains shared by Colombia and Venezuela. This irresistible music, which is relatively unknown in the US, is performed on harp, the mandolin-like bandola, cuatro (small guitar), bass, cajon (large wooden box) and maracas backed by high pitched vocals. Under the direction of the phenomenal harpist Carlos Rojas Hernández, the seven-member ensemble of musicians and dancers has enraptured audiences throughout Latin America and Europe. NY debut.
