mundo jarochomusic
the music is energy, the band is experience and this music is you...
Cesar Castro
(Lead vocal, Jarana, requinto, composer, arrangemet and producer)
began to study in Veracruz, Mexico with renowned harpist, Andres Alfonso through a music program my then middle school offered. When the program culminated, I kept studying with him because I loved the music, the instruments and the celebration of the Son Jarocho music ( the fandango). It was then, that I met different members of already formed Son Jarocho groups, like Mono Blanco and Zacamandu. I continued my studies with Gilberto Gutieterrez, Ramon Gutierrez, Andres Vega and others who were and still are deeply committed to passing on this tradition of music, song, dance, poetry and culture. While the tradition of becoming a good musician in the Son Jarocho genre requires one to learn not only to play one instrument, but to play almost all of them, to play jarana and learn zapateado (dance) , I focused on specializing on the Singing and playing all the traditional guitars, and have taught classes in all of these instruments including harp and percussion.
Along with playing the guitars of the Son Jarocho tradition, Cesar is also a LAUDERO, or craftsman of these specific guitars.
