ENGLISH
Son Jarocho, originated in Veracruz, Mexico, is a blend of Indigenous Mexican, African, Arabic sounds. I have been playing Son Jarocho for over 15 years now. I began studying 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. I continued my studies with Gilberto Gutierrez, Ramon Gutierrez, Octavio and Andres Vega (grupo Mono Blanco) 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. Also I learned how to make jaranas, requintos, leonas (acoustic bass) and tarimas.
