Sometimes the real magic happens in music when disparate genres come together. It was that kind of meeting of musical minds that created the duo of Larry & Joe.
Larry Bellorín is from Venezuela and is a master of joropo or llanera music. When he was exiled from his home country and landed in North Carolina as an asylum seeker, he met bluegrass/old-time musician Joe Troop from Winston-Salem who had himself spent a decade in South America. When Joe began working with migrants, he met Larry. They bonded and began to combine their background and their instruments — cuatro, guitar, banjo, harp, fiddle, upright bass and maracas to create a new bilingual art form that folds in humor, storytelling and dancing, and encourages audience sing-alongs.
They’ll be bringing their intriguing fusion of sounds and cultures to the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Transformer Station. Get tickets here.
