Cristóbal Jiménez

Über Cristóbal Jiménez

Cristóbal Jiménez is a distinguished voice of Venezuelan llanera music, a singer from Apure state whose clear, expressive delivery made him a standard-bearer of the joropo tradition. He carried the songs of the plains to national television and international stages, and served as a cultural ambassador for the folklore of the Venezuelan interior. His recordings remain touchstones of the recorded llanera canon.
