ORIGEN OF THE VENEZUELAN HARP: The origin of Venezuela's musical instruments can be traced back to the indigenous, European and African cultures. All three of them have influenced our popular music. Before the arrival of the Castilians, the Indians used such things as carved bone flutes, clay whistles, seashell trumpets and jingles, and maracas. During the colonization process and the arrival of the African slaves, several different instruments were incorporated into the popular musical tradition such as harp, cuatro, violin, guitar and drums.
