Alma Llanera
The song is a joropo, a Venezuelan dance form. The lyrics were written by Rafael Bolivar Coronado and it is regarded as the unofficial second National anthem of Venezuela. The first part of Alma Llanera is inspired on the waltz Marisela by composer Sebastian Díaz Peña from Venezuela, while the second part of Alma Llanera is inspired on the waltz Mita by the Curaçaon composer Jan Gerard Palm.
