Los Galpones Art Center

These works are in a cafeteria not for sale and you have to ask permission to be able to take photos because otherwise you will have a hard time. But as I can, the owner let me take some pictures.

To each one and with a lot of jealousy of wanting to talk about their paintings for a while

Yes I am honest, you are 3 paintings was what I liked all day, and the 3 previous ones in the library.

Village in Puerto Ordaz on the way to Salto Angel.

The palafittes of the Amazon and I thinking they were in, Zulia was with a friend Maracucha and she said no. Until I read where she was from.

Masks of traditional Venezuelan dance.

These photos made me travel 20 years ago in my adolescence, because I had many years that I did not see something like that.

Very good painting in miniature since I already had one, model or sculpture of the boat.

I said why they did these arts and I had not realized that it was carnival, that's why the exhibition of this place.

When I entered the place, the first thing I saw was this beautiful boat and it was my attraction, all the people were watching me and as I am, I did not stop anything or I kept taking pictures.

National traction musical instruments:

Drum :
A drum is a percussion instrument of indeterminate sound belonging to the family of membranophones. It consists of a resonance box, which is usually cylindrical in shape, and a membrane called a patch, which covers the opening of the box. Some types of drums have patches on both sides. The sound is obtained by striking the instrument on the patch with your hand or with sticks. The box is also usually percussed. Source

Furruco: The furruco or furro, is a musical instrument composed of a wooden drum and animal hide, in addition to that has a wooden rod with waxed tip which when rubbed from top to bottom produces the sound. Source

Bongo: The bongo is a membranophone instrument made up of a set of two slightly conical wooden bodies, one smaller than the other, joined by a wooden ribbon. Their upper mouths -the larger diameter ones- are covered by hairless leather that is tightened with a metal ring through metal keys. The interpreter -bongosero- percusses it with his hands, for which he places it between his knees, sitting down, placing the sharpest patch (the smallest one) on his left at a 45 ° angle. Source

The mandolin or the bandolin is a musical instrument of four double orders. The number and type of mandolin strings has varied with time and place, but the predominant configuration at the present time is Neapolitan mandolin, with four double strings tuned like the violin (sol-re-la-mi). Source

Mandola: La mandola is a plucked string instrument played with a plectrum; it originates and belongs to the mandolin family, although it is larger and a fifth lower is tuned. It consists of four pairs of strings. The notes of the most acute couple to the most serious couple are: the, re, sun, do. Source

The double Bandolino or morocho does not appear his information I apologize to them in a next opportunity I will indicate their meaning to them.

Part of the writing by the author, which for me has a lot of meaning and reason.

He is the Author of the photographs of the place and owner of the musical instruments.

Thanks to the sculptors, photographers, painters and musicians for sharing their experiences in such a pleasant place. And take me back to the past, both in photos and in music, as I teleport to Barquisimeto, the birthplace of "Music and the national Flokore.
