Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gaita Nuestra formed in 1981, a Venezuelan ensemble that worked with traditional gaita music and West African Yoruba rhythms. Their song 'Gaita Yoruba' gives a clear sense of what they were doing. The group included Jaime Indriago on lead vocals, Nerio Quintero as another singer, Daniel Alvarado on percussion, Pedro Yáñez on guitar, and Víctor Mestas playing four-string bass.
They released a series of albums simply titled 'Gaita Nuestra I' through 'Gaita Nuestra IV' between 1981 and 1983. Other tracks like 'Mi Nuevo Empedrao' and 'Prométeme Gaita Y Tradiccion' show their approach to blending these musical traditions. Some traditional gaita musicians criticized their fusion at the time, but they kept performing live and built a following that appreciated what they were trying to do.
