Larry & Joe were destined to make music together.
Larry Bellorín hails from Monagas, Venezuela and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe, after a decade in South America, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry worked construction to make ends meet. Joe's acclaimed "latingrass" band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants. Then Larry met Joe.
Currently based in the Triangle of North Carolina, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas, guitar, upright bass, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

Larry and Joe are awesome! The music is described by Larry Bellorin as Llanero (this is from wikipedia: "The joropo, better known as Música Llanera, is a musical style resembling the fandango, and an accompanying dance. It originated in Venezuela and it has African, European and Native South American influences. There are different joropo variants: tuyero, oriental, and llanero.")

​@@clumsiiiyes, Linda Barinas is a well known song in Venezuela. This is not a new genre, but this is the first time I hear a ¿Banjo? In Venezuelan music

I'm so glad I found this duo wow

[@larryandjoe]

We're glad too!!

[@marcusballano3843]

I think it's Joe making it look effortless on the harp like instrument. Glad you're not doing construction anymore, I'm sure you were good at it but your talents were being wasted. You guys are awesome! We live an hour away from Durham, definitely will see you!

[@larryandjoe]

Hi Marcus! Larry shreds it up on his special Colombian-Venezuelan harp. He's so glad to be out of construction now but of course never stopped playing in the meantime. He's a one in a million musician.
Hope you can make it on out to see us. We're playing Hopscotch in September. We'll play a special holiday program in Durham in December.
Til then, friend!!

[@kennykelley5107]

[@chumsole3463]

You two are doing wonderful things for this world. Beyond the sharing music we can move to, you share feelings, ones we can all really share in. Language is not a barrier when love is present. Thank you for sharing. Peace and puppies.

[@larryandjoe]
