Maracaibo 15

Maracaibo 15 is a Venezuelan gaita band. Founded in 1974 by singer Betulio Medina in Maracaibo, the name of this group reflects the fact that it was originally formed by 15 members. Maracaibo 15 combines gaita with other folkloric music genres, such as parranda, and international music genres such as cumbia and porro.
