Larry & Joe: Venezuelan-Appalachian Fusion Duo Concert

Larry & Joe is the latest project of living legend of Llanera, Larry Bellorín – also an asylum-seeking migrant, and Joe Troop, former bandleader of GRAMMY-nominated Latingrass ensemble Che Apalache. Join us for this Venezuelan-Appalachian Fusion Duo Concert.

They offer a bilingual (esp/eng) and cross-cultural program of virtuosic folk music, storytelling, humor, and audience participation. We have also prepared community engagement programs.

Larry Bellorín, Venezuelan Multi-Instrumentalist

Larry Bellorín is a master of Venezuela’s traditional Llanera music and a multi-instrumentalist known for his virtuosic harp and cuatro playing.

Raised in Punta de Mata, he began shining shoes and singing by age six, eventually earning the title of “maestro” from GRAMMY winner Renaldo Armas. He’s performed with legends like Cristina Maica and Teo Galindez, founded a folk music school, and taught in Venezuela’s Alma Llanera program before fleeing political persecution to the U.S.
