It is a pleasure for me to refer to today's song, "Golpe y Estribillo" (Strike and Estribillo). It is a Joropo Oriental Sucrense (JOSU) in the form of Joropo with Estribillo interpreted by the Venezuelan group Serenata Guayanesa.
The JOSU is a traditional - popular musical genre from the Venezuelan east that is the result of this process of transculturation between the Arabic-Andalusian-aboriginal cultures that was lived in Venezuela since the colonization by the Europeans, specifically Spain. The musical theme that we will hear today was the result of a compilation made by Serenata Guayanesa in the Cariaco area of the Sucre State - Venezuela, it was recorded in 1972 and, immediately, it became a landmark of Venezuelan oriental music.
As for Serenata Guayanesa, this group started a musical career in June 1971 with the musicians Hernán Gamboa (tenor and cuatro player), Iván Pérez Rossi (light baritone and second cuatro player), César Pérez Rossi (baritone and percussionist) and Mauricio Castro Rodríguez (countertenor and percussionist).

Strike and Estribillo
Blessed be God, dear
Blessed be I my God
That they are throwing me the bow
Without having committed
She is dressed in mourning
Tell me who died
If your lover died
Do not cry that here I am
The chicken stings the plate
Because lamber can not
The woman who wants two
You may also want three (bis)
Estribillo
If it were not so hoarse
I would sing them better
But I'm cold
And makes a stick of rum
I care very little
That I care the same
Let the world come
And that it becomes abyss
When this dark sings
Everyone has fun
But there is no one who says
Take my black this strong
I came yesterday from Cariaco
Wanting to party
To sing beat and chorus
In Campo and Cerezal
Carúpano and Río Caribe
Enjoy tranquility
I'm going to Río Caribe
I'm going to the Pilar
Listen to me Perucho Cova
You do not get sad
Look how they scold you
The basses of the Cuereta
