Jesús or “Chú”, is one of the composers and interpreters of popular music from the

East of Venezuela that has most been planted in the heart of the island people. He
was born on August 27, 1930, in the town of Los Robles, state. Nueva Esparta,
He formed the group Cuerdas Espartanas in the 60s and, throughout the following
decade, he dedicated himself to publishing records, which gave projection to the
popular music movement in Margarita. Later, his artistic and personal process led
him to leave the group (which is still alive with other musicians); even so, he
continues to record and edit material on his own, both in LP and 45 rpm
format. Among his best known songs are: Rumbo a Oriente, El guanaguanare
(popularized nationally by Nancy Ramos in the late 70s), Elegía Margariteña, El
