Rodrigo Hernandez will perform a repertory of Colombian and Venezuelan Llanera Music. Llanera musica, also known as joropo, is a musical style that originated in the grasslands of Colombia and Venezuela. The name comes from the Spanish word llano, which means “plains”. The music is often played with a harp, bass, cuatro guitar, maracas, and bandola guitar. This free event presented is in collaboration with Arte Mexicano en Indiana, Nopal Cultural and SADCO.

About Rodrigo Hernandez

Rodrigo Hernandez began playing the harp at the age of 12. It is one of the main instruments in the musical genre of llanero folklore (llanera music), standing out in accompaniment and among various highly experienced llanera musicians. Rodrigo was born in the city of Villavicencio, Colombia. The harp is an acoustic instrument composed of 32 strings. Llanera music transcends and covers the vast Venezuelan geography and parts of the Colombian plains. Traditionally, it comprises the harp, bandola, maracas, the cuatro, and the bass.
