Venezuelan Merengue Today
Venezuelan merengue isn't quite the popular phenomenon that it was in the 1920s, but it still a popular dance, especially in Caracas. Several "nostalgia" groups attempt to preserve the form by performing it exclusively (often dressing in historic garb): Los Antaños del Stadium, Cañón Contigo, Los Cañoneros, Cuarteto Caraquita. Modern ensembles which incorporate Venezuelan merengues in their repertoire include: Grupo Raíces, El Cuarteto, Beto Valderrama, Henry Rubio.
