Larry & Joe
Friday, March 28, 2025 at 8 p.m.
Born continents and cultures apart, this dynamic duo delivers a captivating fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas and more. Venezuela-born Larry Bellorín is a legend of Llanera music, a rhythmic folk tradition from his home country. Forced to seek political asylum in North Carolina, the multi-instrumentalist met Grammy-nominated bluegrass and old-time musician Joe Troop, founder of the acclaimed “Latingrass” band Che Apalache. Together, their stories converge through a unique blend of musical traditions — demonstrating that music truly knows no borders.

“Their virtuosity is jaw-dropping live … they both take great, transcendent joy in making this music together, and that kind of joy is contagious.” — Folk Alley
