Mi jarana es guerrillera...

About Me

Son del Centro is a group of companeros and camaradas who are students, musicians, activists, dancers, friends and organizers from various parts of Santa Ana, California.The group was formed to create a space for youth to explore their traditions, creativity and consciousness, through son jarocho music. Inspired by the Jarocho groups from Mexico brought to Southern California by El Centro Cultural, this group of youth began attending son jarocho classes about three years ago, and fell in love with the music....................................................... ............................................................ .. Por medio de los talleres de son jarocho que se ofrecen en el Centro Cultural de México en Santa Ana, California, se formo el grupo de Son del Centro quienes son compañeros y camaradas, estudiantes, músicos, activistas, bailadores, amigos y organizadores de varios partes de Santa Ana, California, y ciudades cercanas. Por mas de tres años el grupo ha servido como pilar económico para este espacio cultural. Cuando invitados a tocar para diferentes eventos, el dinero recaudado se le entrega directamente al espacio para cubrir sus gastos. Además han participado solidariamente con diferentes campañas socio-políticas como la Coalición de Trabajadores Immokalee (CIW), promoviendo la música jarocha como un herramienta movilizadora. En si el grupo presenta y promueve el son jarocho a varias comunidades y crea un espacio en donde los jóvenes de la comunidad pueda explorar sus tradiciones, creatividad y consciencia dentro del son jarocho.

Son del Centro is a group of youth community activists that use the Jarana as their weapon of choice. The outcome is a NON-PROFIT musical group, where all the members are volunteers, and most importantly; 100% of the revenues from CD sales and performances sustain El Centro Cultural de Mexico and all of its community projects. Thank you for supporting alternative community projects.
