This small representation composed of a large contingent of young

musicians who currently take part of the urban music circuit is born

in the capital of Venezuela in 2010. The guest musicians, only asking

where the “thing” was, attended to the meeting and, thanks to that,

now you and I can enjoy the wonderful music of this collective

experience.

The only rule of Joropo Jam is to play joropo without (at least in

this chapter) any claim to set patterns, impose tendencies, tastes or

talk about innovation or modernisation. In this respect, they were

asked to play joropo just like every one of them wished to do it, no

matter the time, style or instrumentation, which is why no one  should

be surprised at the diversity of colors, timbres or formats as well as

the notable differences between tracks that may be found by listening

to their performances.

We must clarify that Joropo Jam is not a group itself, but rather a

sound portrait of what could be any meeting and jam between our

musicians; it means, it is the expression of those occasions when

they lose track of time playing and improvising their favorite music.

So that, we advise you to surrender without preconceived ideas and

prejudices so you would be delighted by musical surprises.
