Today I want to share with you some Venezuelan instrumental music , it is about merengue, El Saltarín , composed by Luís Laguna (1926-1984). This merengue has a very interesting musical structure due to the repeated arpeggios that define, at the same time, the harmonic structure. In general terms, it is of an incomparable melodic-harmonic beauty with an upward movement that gives us that feeling of tension that can only be achieved with the appropriate resolution-adjustments to which Maestro Luis Laguna has accustomed us. This time, I play it only with the Mandolin, in its original 5/8 form. I hope you enjoy this simple version, I will leave it here for you.

I want to thank the Hive Platform and, in the same way, the MUSIC Community for allowing me to share the exercise of the wonderful world of music and for all the support you have given me, also you, thank you very much.
