The Grupo Cimarrón ensemble is known for their explosive música llanera (plains music) and fast-paced, triple-meter joropo, a musical tradition from Colombia and Venezuela with Spanish, African, and Arawak roots. The ensemble has created a new mix by emphasizing rhythm and creativity and insisting that joropo dance be a part of the performance wherever possible. Grupo Cimarrón has performed in China, Europe, and North and South America. In 2022, Cimarrón released a new album titled “La Recia“. The album reached No. 1 at the Transglobal World Music Chart in July.
