"El Garrasí" is the name of a 33-RPM LP album by Venezuelan composer/arranger/conductor Aldemaro Romero, released in 1959 (see 1959 in music), with the record label "Cymbal".

This album features popular Venezuelan pieces, continuing with the modernization of Venezuelan folk music, upgrading it from folk instrumentations to full modern orchestral versions, and making it palatable to international audiences, and the presentation of two compositions by Aldemaro Romero, "El Garrasí" and "Dos Golondrinas".

Aldemaro Romero explains at the back cover of the album, the process of recording, the origin of his new compositions and his travel to New York City.
