Son Jarocho is the rich traditional music and dance from the coastal state of Veracruz, Mexico. This genre has its roots in Spanish secular music from the colonial period and an ethnic mixture of Afro-Caribbean and Mexican Indian elements. This mix is not surprising considering that the city-port of Veracruz has been a gateway to Mexico and Latin America since the sixteenth century.
Radio Jarocho is a New York City-based project devoted entirely to the son jarocho and fandango traditions from southern Veracruz, Mexico.The group has performed in notable events dedicated to Mexican and Latin American folk arts in the state of New York and Washington D.C. These include: Celebrate Mexico Now! Brooklyn Folk Music Festival, National Geographic's All Roads Film Festival, Lincoln Center's La Casita and Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Chili Fest, where they shared the bill with Pete Seeger. They have also performed in clubs like Banjo Jim's and Jalopy Theater. As part of the artist's roster in organizations like Brooklyn Arts Council, Mano a Mano, City Lore, and the Americas Society, they have promoted son jarocho in public schools and community events throughout the five boroughs of New York City.
Pies anónimos acompañados del sonido del requinto, jarana y voz se convierten en creadores de música y emociones que despiertan en quien la escucha interesantes sensaciones, es así como defino al son y no me cabe duda que ustedes logran hacerlo con este proyecto que se traen entre manos y pies. Les deseo mucho éxito, presentaciones y fandangos por venir. Saludos desde el D.F.
