Son Jarocho is a tradition that has been passed down to us by family, teachers and friends from Mexico Veracruz. Son Jarocho’s Fandango ceremony-celebration originated four centuries ago. Previously-disparate groups (African, Andalusian and Indigenous peoples) responded to the violences of colonial Veracruz with music as a way of sharing sounds, instruments, or stories that they brought from their original homelands. Similarly today, the disparate peoples of the United States are faced with the challenge of communally maintaining and sharing their connection to their ancestral roots.
