El Diablo Suelto (The Devil on the Loose), published originally in 1888,[2] is one of the most renowned songs in Venezuela's music history. Composed by Heraclio Fernández, this popular waltz created in the western state of Zulia is played as a joropo, as it forms part of Venezuelan folk culture.[3]
Popular musician and composer Enrique Hidalgo wrote little-known lyrics for the song, which were recorded by Gualberto Ibarreto in 1976.[4]
