Community TutorYes!! I play the venezuelan cuatro, some drums and the maracas.
My mother told me that when my grandfather died no one took an instrument at home because there was a lot of sadness.
Seven years later, when I was born my mother and my uncles started to play again for me, as my coming brought happiness to the family.
Music was always around me (Live music), and I remember as I child the emotion inside me when I asked my mother or my uncles to play something for me. I like to make others happy when they ask me to play something, specially if they are children.
In my case, music is part of my familiar and cultural identity. I felt totally in love with venezuelan music when my mother played this song for me: https://youtu.be/gxIibzxf8Ok

I play music to remember my family, always. Love for them 💕💕
