A fast-paced ride through Venezuelan history, this electrifying show weaves together music and dance to transport the audience to the stunning Latin American country.

From 15th century Spain to 21st century Venezuelan city life, the styles of flamenco and traditional African, Caribbean, and Moorish dance combine to form the country’s unique blend of movement. Set to a one-of-a-kind musical score influenced by classical and medieval Afro-Arabian music, the show features harps, maracas, bandolas, flamenco box, and drums, culminating in a sensual feast for both the eyes and ears. Passionate, energetic, and steeped in cultural pride, Venezuela Viva is sure to blow your mind!
