Elegguá

Friday, September 28, 2007

The Afro-Venezuelan women's ensemble Elegguá performs call-and-response vocals and percussion on instruments usually played by men. Since Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez created a quota for traditional music on local TV and radio, the group has become very popular at home. They play live in studio.
