Alma Llanera. Pedro Elías Gutiérrez
This is an arrangement made by me of Alma Llanera.
Alma Llanera is considered Venezuela’s unofficial second national anthem.
Music by Pedro Elías Gutiérrez and lyrics by Rafael Bolívar Coronado.
Its premiere was in 1914. Originally the song was a part of a zarzuela with the same name “Alma llanera: Zarzuela in one act”
¡Dedico esta interpretación a todos los venezolanos que luchan por la libertad de nuestro país!
Brisas del Torbes. Luis Felipe Ramón y Rivera
In this post I am playing an arrangement for piano made by me of the song “Brisas del Torbes” by Venezuelan musician and composer Luis Felipe Ramón y Rivera (1913-1993).
This piece is a bambuco. The bambuco is a type of song that appeared in Venezuela in the late nineteenth century and has it origins in the habaneras which is a cuban dance. The bambuco is popular in the Andes between Colombia and Venezuela.
I hope you enjoy this performance and I wish you in this new year all the best!

Como Llora Una Estrella. Antonio Carrillo
Antonio Carrillo (Barquisimeto, Venezuela 1892-1962)
Venezuelan composer. He wrote over a hundred pieces and perhaps his best known is this waltz “Como Llora Una Estrella”.
La Dulzura De Tu Rostro. Ramón Delgado Palacios
Ramón Delgado Palacios (Caracas 1867-1902)
He is one of the best Venezuelan composers of the second half of the nineteenth century. His waltzes have a great lyricism, rhythmic and technical complexity. Ramon Delgado Palacios elevated this musical genre that was so fashionable at that time up to the concert level.
Delgados Palacios began his musical education in Caracas and completed his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, although he had influence of the French musical school, his music is mainly Venezuelan in character.
