Please skip the first 2 paragraphs if you are familiar with what I'm trying to do.
Caballo Viejo is an iconic tune written by Simón Diaz, a Venezuelan Singer-Composer working in the tradition of the Llanos, a Savana like Plains region that stretches from Colombia into Venezuela. The region has it's own pace and it's music incorporates it's own stylistic cues that betray it as being uniquely "Llanera".
Simón Diaz has written quite a few works, but Caballo Viejo is the one piece that made world take notice. This song has been covered by greats like Celia Cruz, Juan Gabriel, Julio Iglesias, Roberto Torres, Ruben Blades and even Placido Domingo had a go of it.
I will post many versions of this particular song and donate the SBD to someone from Venezuela in an attempt to stem hunger. The idea is: Algo de Venezuela pa Venezuela, or something from Venezuela for Venezuela. If many people follow this idea and do the same it will be a nice boost to moral support for our brothers and sisters from Venezuela.
I hope you enjoy this version of Caballo Viejo from Colombia.
A vote for the nice idea, but the video doesn't seem to open for me. Will try again later: could be glitsch at my end ...

Strange, it's a YT video. Here is the YT link disabled, copy/paste into browser and remove brackets to play. https://www.youtube(.)com/watch?v=BSUTf22VhfY
Thanks for the vote. Things are getting so bad, ..I'll spare you the details.

Watch out that we don't have to feed YOU (sanity) soon. I can feel it is madness out there even without the details.
My browser is having "trouble finding that site" and nothing will play on YT for me: so I'll have to follow some or all of my son's eternal repair advice: shut down, unplug, plug in, restart, slap the modem and pray to the computer gods. Will try again tomorrow. (I see on YT we might have 15 more horses to go??)
Hang on to your old horse, in your advanced youth, and make it to the finish line wrinkle free, you hear! It ain't worth furrows in the brow.

At least 15 more. I have a playlist with 21 old horses and I know I can find at least 10 more. I know what has been happening to Venezuela, and it's not just politics. Those filthy pigs are willing to starve people to get their way if they can't bomb them. Their cruelty has no limits. Sin piedad.

Fresh day, video works con mucha anima. Since I don't know anything (much) about the politics there, it is interesting that I have been drawn to Venezuela about 20 years ago, to park in the back of my head for some as yet unknown reason. What I noted to myself, then, was that there was a great untapped but also uncontaminated creative potential in the young. I wonder what old and new veins really are running through this country to make it what it is or is not allowed to be.
For a spiritual researcher like myself it summons up many questions that are hard to answer (without politics) unless one travels extensively through the place. How does it compare to the other messes in S.A.? Why couldn't the Spanish pull off what the Anglicans did?(Nothing united about S.A.) Why does this appendix of a continent attract such dark energies?
Who do you mean by "them" (if we are to think over and above a few figureheads)? What force is preventing the spirit of the country to blossom? The external strains of corruption are not hard to guess, but what is rotten at the core? How far back does it go? How does one heal such a place?
(How are you going to get away with posting up other people's work... now it's become a funding project?) For this project to succeed, you may have to detail more specifics somewhere down the line to appeal to the imagination.

Oil yes makes sense.... where did your speculation go...?

I deleted it because I don't want to turn it into a political thing, suffice it to say that I'm not easily fooled by information deliberately left out when it comes to oil, where it's located, and who controls it.
In general, all the land in SA was owned by roughly 60 families and I expect this is still somewhat true today. Combine this with oil, mineral wealth and a struggle for dominance elsewhere, and there is a formula for violence.
You are right about outlining the purpose of these posts in the introduction. This initiative won't be enough, but in terms of moral support it's a nice boost as the media, at least in my neck of the woods, has largely ignored the situation in Venezuela, favoring reports on Trump's latest Tweets, Kim Kardashian's behind and the latest political approval ratings.
I'll continue these posts for a bit and donate proceeds; it's all I can do.

How much are you making on them? It can't just be that you only donate from these few votes here?
(I figured as much about the delete.)There is more regards this business I can say, here, too.
But what Venezuelans can we hope to know? Are they allowed on Steemit? Are there any here?
