Ricardo Montaner releases “La Familia” as tribute to Venezuelan roots

Singer-songwriter Ricardo Montaner has released a new single titled “La Familia,” a song performed in the traditional gaita rhythm of Maracaibo, Venezuela. The track serves as a tribute to the singer's connection to the region where he spent his childhood and began his musical journey.

The song focuses on themes of family unity, togetherness, and the importance of celebrating shared moments, particularly during the December holiday season. The accompanying music video features iconic Venezuelan landscapes, including the General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge and sunsets over Lake Maracaibo.

Although born in Argentina, Montaner has maintained a long-standing cultural connection to Venezuela. This release marks a departure from his typical romantic ballads to embrace the folk traditions of the Zulia region.
