The "cañonera music" is a musical style born in the capital of Venezuela in the early twentieth century. It is the first urban musical expression in this country. The groups that play "cañonera" music include several Venezuelan rhythms like the venezuelan merengue, a variant of the pasodoble, joropo, and Venezuelan waltz.
