Orinoco was an album produced by Ana Veydó and Carlos Cuco Rojas, recorded in Cimarron Studio in Bogotá, Colombia.
This was Cimarron first independent album after two studio albums produced by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: Sí soy llanero and ¡Cimarrón! Joropo Music From The Plains of Colombia.
Orinoco features the sound of an old Indigenous deer-skull whistle from Sikuani people from the Orinoco River[2].

Upon its release, Orinoco received positive reviews from Billboard, Songlines, Pop Matters.
Billboard praised the album for being "a contemporary resonance of joropo"[3], while Pop Matters recomended Orinoco as "good both for listeners craving foundational folk music from the album's namesake valley and those who yearn for the fresh and contemporary"[4].
In the UK, Songlines Magazine placed the album on its Top of the World Album chart for November 2019[5][6].
In 2020, Cimarrón won Songlines Music Awards for Best Group, after touring all over UK alongside the Welsh harpist Catrin Finch.
