The "Chipola" is one of the rhythms belonging to the "Joropo System" (as some scholars have called it); these are written under a 3/4-6/8 time signature, with a shifting matrix of accented eighth notes. "Joropo" music is entirely an oral tradition of the great plains of the Orinoco basin which spans Colombia and Venezuela. In Joropo we can distinguish three musical forms: "Tonada" (slow song form), "Pasaje" (medium tempo) and "Golpe" (fast).
