The "maracas" in playing the joropo are actually called capachos. I'll find a source on that before I change it. There are also many basic forms of the joropo named after their most famous songs (golpes: chipola, gabán, pajarillo, quitapesares; and tonadas or pasajes, etc.) The article could also mention the leco and explain contrapunteo. Famous musicians could also stand a mention, [Ignacio Figueredo] to start with. I wanted to note this, but don't have time to follow up right now, so maybe someone else can go from here and extend the article a bit using this extra info as a takeoff point. 8-) --Lizzard 14:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
