Actually Venezuelans are closer culturally to Dominican republic, as Colombians actually come from Galicia and the Basque county instead of The Canaries. Also Before the consolidation of the modern states some could say that the colombian llano was closer to venezuela than Nueva granada itself. The andes mountains seperating venezuela from the most of the colombian population made us pretty distinct. This is why the Arepa was introduced to colombia throught the llanos, as a large part of the colombian llanos used to be venezuelan territory. The language of the Cumangoto tribes people which named the arepa are concentrated in modern day venezuela And the Llano border in colombia

35:57 I think it's worth pointing out the waves that El sistema made in Classical Music. The Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel and José Antonio Abreu was one of the best in the world before they changed it to be an actual symphony orchestra, and I know that they tried to replicate this kind of system in various European countries. Musicians from the formal SBYO now play in some of the best orchestras in the world (like for example Edicson Ruiz who's been a member of the Berlin Philharmonic for over 15 years). A lot of the young musicians also participated in the anti government protests in 2017, where at least one of them got killed and quite a few were imprisoned.

I just wanted to clarify something: I'm from the Paraguaná Peninsula, and I've never heard it called "Isla Cora," nor have I been able to find any source that says so. The name Paraguaná in the Caquetío language (an indigenous ethnic group that inhabited the area) roughly translates as "garden in the sea." I hope you get to visit Paraguaná one day.

As a Colombian, Venezuela is a country that is just so insanely close and familiar to us, its kind of hard to imagine life without them. Obviously, people can get pretty mean on both sides a lot of the time, but I would argue that Venezuela is so fundamental to Colombian culture (and vice versa) that our national identities wouldn't even exist as we know them without each other. We're two of the culturally closest countries in the world, if we're being honest.

It’s unfortunate how much the US and it’s policy can cause suffering in LATAM

It’s bc all the violent Venezuelans left Venezuela and made crime rates higher in other LATAM countries

That was a special episode, guys! Really well done all-around. Kudos to the whole crew.

Two of my favourite KZreadrs together? This is going to be a great video.

Not Joanna. Lol

Thank you Barbs for putting so much effort into your videos! I love to see how you and your friends have so much fun while educating us into knowing the basics and more about world geography

Finally after so many years watching we get the Venezuela episode, great job guys

A major point that was missed in the discussion on El Essequibo is the fact that the largest oil reserve in the world was recently discovered off of its coast. This has ignited territorial claims over who gets to own the oil fields.

Which in my opinion is a ridiculously greedy and disgusting claim on Venezuela’s end. They don’t even know how to manage the copious amounts they already have and are greedy and corrupt. Attempting to take more than half of Guyana’s land and its oil won’t fix ANY of Venezuela’s problems and I’m very happy Guyana has the support of Brazil and USA to keep Venezuela in check. Side note: the PEOPLE of Venezuela don’t care about this issue, they are more focused on social and economic issues, not many people voted to take the land and the results of their referendum were exaggerated and falsified.

Guys Min 8:26, Bolivar Square photo is actually in Bogota DC (Colombia) not in Venezuela

Omg two of my favorites KZreadrs in one video!! Thanks for making this happen for us!

Well, i started watching since the “A” countries when i was in grade 5, now im in college waiting for my beloved Vietnam episode. What a journey!

As a Filipino, I learned that aside from being a former Spanish colony, the thing that we share similarities with Venezuelans is that we also point using our lips and we are obsessed with beauty pageants. Lol this is so amusing. It's like we're like Venezuela's cousins from Asia😅

@manuelmesias7706 If you can speak Filipino (which is composed of 30-40% Spanish loan words), then you are basically one of us. I bet you can understand them whenever they speak Filipino. 😉

Filipinos are very similar to Latin Americans in general, with the difference that we do not speak the same language, remember that a large part of our culture and traditions come from Spain.

We may not speak the same language but we share many similar roots thanks to the Spanish empire. Roosts that unite us.

After 8 years of following and loving your channel!!! Thank you for making such a great video about my country ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

Had been waiting for this episode for years!!! I liked it, thanks! You actually invited the right person for the video. Well done.

I'm from Maracaibo and is really the reference in "Gaitas" and I like this video from the biggest information from the all countries in this type of the videos

So cool. God bless Venezuela! ❤

Two of my fav YT channels from five years ago in the same video (Geography NOW! and Flama). I'm so pumped.

Love the amount of detail y’all put into this! Great to see Johanna I remember watching her on Flama back in the day.

Remake your old videos please

I think as Colombians we often forget the strong bond between our sister nations like Venezuela and Ecuador (Panama too). We have a lot of things in common.

Omgggggggggg, I have been waiting for this Episode for sooo long and it's just perfect. I love this channel with all my venezuelan heart

I love how united everyone looks, making these final few episodes very special! Great video! ❤

What a great video! All hail Venezuela!

I'm Spanish and I confirm that the relationship between Canary Islands and Venezuela is *strong* . A Venezuelan came once for the first time to El Hierro (the South-Westest island) and local people asked her _who are you related to?_ Yes: having relatives in the other side of the Atlantic is not that unusual there. Not at all. And I ate Canarian arepas, and I love the _tequeños_ I bought in the supermarket in El Hierro 😋 I guess you get the idea 👈

I'm colombian and I think that this video is amazing and you did an amazing research of a lot of thinks I didn't know about Venezuela (like the many constitutions, wow), thank you for this!

I’ve been watching your channel for years it actually feels surreal you got to my country🙌

He forgot some of the best venezuelan singers or musicians like Jose Luis Rodriguez "El Puma", Maria Conchita Alonso, Franco de Vita, Guillermo Davila, Ricardo Montaner and El Sonero del Mundo Oscar D'Leon
