Oscar D' Leon...sings "Rio Orinoco".
Ah, Venezuela.
So rich in oil and gas...and Miss Universe beauty contest winners...but currently so troubled.
The world's highest inflation!
A higher murder rate...than even Mexico.
Its populist socialist hero...Hugo...recovering from a secret undisclosed cancer.
New and troubling friends like Iran...and Belarus...even as old friends in Bolivia and Peru ease away.
But it also has a long, rich musical tradition.
Especially in salsa.
Here is a wonderful, joyous and famous Venezuelan song...performed by great salsero Oscar D'Leon.
