Venezuela
Kate Molleson journeys through the Christmas season across Latin America. Today, rollerskating and folk revivals in Venezuela.
Kate Molleson journeys through the Christmas season in Latin America, introducing the composers who shaped local festivities across centuries and longitudes. From cathedrals to countryside to the deep heat of megacities, we revel in music for worship, friendship, family and fiestas.
Today, in Venezuela, we hear about Vicente Emilio Sojo, the man who saved folk carols from extinction, the 19th-century 鈥渧alkyrie of the piano鈥� Teresa Carre帽o, and about the nation鈥檚 preferred mode of festive transport: rollerskates.
