This video, part of the series "This Is How The Night Sounds", explores the enduring tradition of cattle ranching songs in the Colombian-Venezuelan plains. Led by Nadia Orozco, a journalist and writer, the video reveals the cultural significance of cattle herding songs, integral to the pastoral lifestyle of the Llaneros or plains people. These songs, sung a cappella, use whistles and calls and are vital for managing cattle. They foster a deep connection between humans and animals, demonstrating respect and understanding. The narrative emphasizes these vocal traditions' role in daily tasks like milking and herding and reflects on how modernization impacts this cultural heritage. The video's focus aligns with state curricula on cultural studies, offering insights into historical and sociocultural dimensions of Latin American life.
