Jesus Rondon - Founding member of Los
Vasallos del Sol
Adriana Manrique - Director of Cultural Promotion for the
Fundacion Bigott
Please join us as we
discuss the African and indigenous musical heritage of Venezuela and its new
cultural policies that foster a plural vision and the promotion of the
diversity of its peoples. This first U.S. tour for Los Vasallos del Sol
is presented by the Embassy of Venezuela and sponsored by Citgo Corporation in
collaboration with Fundación Bigott, a private cultural foundation. The tour
exemplifies Venezuela's new vision of cultural inclusiveness and promotion of
cultural diversity. The 28-member ensemble interprets diverse music and
dance traditions that portray Venezuelan heritage, from the African-inspired
rhythms of the Caribbean to the folk ballads of the inland plains. The
group has recorded five albums, most recently their 15-year anniversary disc,
Quince años (2005).
