The distinguished pianist Clara Marcano tells the story of the Venezuelan merengue, one of the most representative musical genres of that country's idiosyncrasy. Marcano will illustrate her lecture by means of historic recordings, photos, and images from the period, as well as eloquent interpretations at the piano mingled with delicious anecdotes and good-humored explanations behind the origin of the lyrics of famous merengues and popular sayings. And there will be surprises that add a special touch to the performance and transform it into a learning and refreshing experience.
