about

There is a 6/8 musical genre called Onda Nueva, which emerged in the sixties in Venezuela and still is pretty much unknown to the world. It is basically a marriage between a folkloric local style called joropo and the Brazilian harmonic colors that came along the Bossa Nova era. In order to play Onda Nueva, a musician must be aware of all the "rhythmic games" proper to joropo and be able to put them into action within an extended harmonic frame, which is precisely the thing that joropo in its pure form does not allow because of its essential harmonic simplicity. People like Aldemaro Romero and Frank “Pavo” Hernández (his drummer) found in the sixties a sort of formula that ended up being this new genre, a real one that didn’t interfere with the sources and brought along its own new codes. This tune is my modest contribution to the Onda Nueva repertoire.
