It was originally part of a zarzuela. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The text of \u201cAlma Llanera\u201d describes the natural beauty and spirit of the Venezuelan Llanos (plains), the strength of its rivers and the passion of the Venezuelans. The song is a celebration of llanero culture, which is deeply rooted in Venezuelan identity. The translation of the title is \u201cSoul of the Plains\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><em>Why is the song so loved and well known in Venezuela?<\/em><\/summary>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">For Venezuelans, the song \u201cAlma Llanera\u201d is like a second national anthem. It is a very beautiful song and it is a tradition to end parties and social gatherings singing this song. When \u201cAlma Llanera\u201d sounds everyone goes home. The party is over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The song serves as a bridge that connects Venezuelans with their culture and roots. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for their homeland and unity among Venezuelans living abroad.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><em>What special meaning does the song have for you?<\/em><\/summary>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The song \u201cAlma Llanera\u201d is very special to me because of the bond it creates with my parents and friends, as we all sing this song together, hugging and kissing. It is a very joyful way to connect with your loved ones. It is an indescribable emotion.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><em>Tell us something about yourself. Who are you?<\/em><\/summary>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">My name is Fernando Gonzalez. I was born in Caracas. I like to read, play tennis, swim and travel. Since my keen interest in chemistry, I decided to study Chemical Engineering at the University of Twente. Last year I was awarded the Incentive Prize for First Year Chemical Engineering Students by the Royal Holland Society of Sciences (KHMW). The Netherlands is a great country, but I really miss the mountains of Venezuela, especially El \u00c1vila with its macaws (guacamayas) flying, which can be seen from our house in Caracas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Mar\u00eda Esther Gonzalez Varela is the mother of Fernando. She requested this song on behalf of her son. As a surprise! She is very proud of his accomplishments, but she misses him so much that she is counting the days until she can hug and kiss him again.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1142,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-zuid-amerika"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
