About Cimarrón:
Since creating Cimarrón in 1986, leader and harpist Carlos Rojas has looked both backward and forward in time. The música llanera and joropo have roots in 19th-century Colombia, and the style of singing, playing and instruments used have been carefully modeled on tradition. The ensemble has created a new mix by emphasizing rhythm and creativity and insisting that joropo dance be a part of the performance wherever possible. Cimarrón has performed in China, Europe, and North and South America.

Harp, guitars (bandola and cuatro), maracas, wooden box drum (cajón) and the rhythm of the dancers' feet are the instruments used by the high-energy ensemble, all of whom carry strong ties to the cattle country of the Colombian plains. Each band member is a virtuoso in his or her own discipline, and the album provides a medium for both collective and individual expression.

The group's 2004 Smithsonian Folkways release Sí, Soy Llanero (Smithsonian Folkways) earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional World Album.

¡Cimarrón! Joropo Music from the Plains of Colombia is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions Latino music series launched in 2002. The series, a co-production with the Smithsonian Latino Center, showcases the diverse musical heritage of the 50 million Latinos living in the USA.
