Its practice varies according to the regions: East, Guayana, The Andes, West Central, Central and The Plains. It combines music, poetry, singing and dancing, and involves various instruments such as the harp, cuatro, maracas, violin and accordion. The songs often tell stories about love, nature, humour and daily life. Joropo music is played all year round, both spontaneously and during planned events, and is common at family celebrations, public gatherings, and religious or cultural festivals. There is a corresponding partner dance where a man and woman hold each other at a certain distance, starting in a waltz position, and follow specific steps and movements.
