@luoboeguy Anyway, this performance doesn't have anything to do with the lyrics. Was it that hard to investigate what the heck is the song about?... This looks like an opera scene.

@pereztcarlos I think since this is an American college choir performing in tuxedos in Oklahoma city we can safely say authenticity was not the goal.

I think you guys made a great work.

But, sorry, you should have investigated a bit more about Venezuelan popular music... this version its just ridiculous.

Sorry guys, but I'm a Venezuelan, and I felt offended after watching this video. "La Restinga" is a "gaita", and I've heard before Maestro Grau's arrangement, and definitely, IT'S NOT a tarantela (or whatever you made above).

This is ridiculous its so amazingly good!!!!!

Hasta Luego, se valora que quieran conocer algo más de otras culturas, pero llevarla a un ritmo de Tap, me parece demasiado, eso es un Polo algo movido si, pero no es para tanto, los norteamericanos llevan hasta su propio Himno a todos los ritmos habidos y por haber me falta oirlo en reggaeton a ver si les gusta que creo que no, gracias pero no gracias, me quedo con la de Scholla Cantorum

AMAZING! I am so proud to have ever been a part of this group. (Class of 2000)What an impressive performance.

Congratulations, this is a great version of a really difficult piece, I know by experience, also the Cajon gives a special touch.

Bravo!
