So I did a few trial and error searches on youtube, looking for famous mariachi pieces at first, then latin revolutionary marches and songs. After 15 minutes I meant to call it quits but tried one more query looking for "Venezuelan march". And this is when that Six Degrees Singers video turned up. Although acapella, it very much sounded like it and I finally had a title name from the comments, "Alma Llanera". So I typed that in next and -- by so finding that OSV recording -- could confirm the match and even found more information on Wikipedia (i.e. Joropo, not mariachi style). | ||

go to about 4:15 for where it matches with the OP's song. btw there's a reason this video came up first, it has over a million views for a reason. Watch it to the end. but for some reason it didn't immediately click for me, so I kind of roamed around looking for venezuelan composers, stumbled across Aldemaro Romero (the wikipedia description "He composed a wide range of music, working in genres such as Caribbean, jazz, Venezuelan waltzes and symphonic works, which helped to modernize Venezuelan folk music" immediately caught my eye), looked him up and came up with him playing Alma Llanera on his famous "Dinner in Caracas" album. I listened to a different version of it, sounded familiar, came back here, compared. Then went back to the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra video and facepalmed because it was the first thing I looked at. but proseat still beat me. | ||

 I was hopeless for so long and you have given me exactly what I wanted. And two statements: 1. I didn't know TL had since created "Featured Blogs" so I'm sorry for wasting your time and 2. What the fuck is an AMA? Not even a question, just a statement. Anyhow, I used to be popular here on this forum, but I keep forgetting that SC2 exists and thus I am irrelevant, but anyhow, you guys still came through for me. | ||

I AM STARTING TO BE ASHAMED OF MY SIG Your signature is perfectly justified because I meant what I said. Also, my sister now has skin cancer in three different spots, but it's perfectly treatable, so don't be concerned.  Well, if you could feel a little concerned or worrisome, I would appreciate it.
