Video Title:
Tereso Vega (Son de Madera) & Quetzal Flores - "Cupido" [Live at Smithsonian Folklife Festival 2009]
Description:
Jarocho musician Tereso Vega (of the group Son de Madera) from Xalapa, Mexico improvises lyrics to "Cupido" accompanied by Chicano musician Quetzal Flores on jarana. Vega and Flores are featured performers at the 2009 Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington D.C., as part of the Las Américas program. 'Son de Mi Tierra' is available on CD and digital. Stream/download/purchase: Smithsonian Folkways: https://folkways.si.edu/son-de-madera/mi-tierra/latin-world/music/album/smithsonian Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/66VoLOof8xKYwbHAXBRJ9S?si=Jvqg4G-ZQmSL9s4oepPpcQ The name of this musical group, Son de Madera (Sound of Wood), plays off the word "son," meaning both "sound" and the son genre, and the fact that their instruments were fashioned from wood (madera). The improvisatory, string-driven music of Veracruz called son jarocho has enjoyed several decades of major resurgence. This "back-to-the-future" recording allies elder farmer and rancher musicians with the next generation of forward-looking innovators who comprise the group Son de Madera. Son de Mi Tierra ("Sound of My Land") burgeons with creativity and reverence for both the old and the new as it draws from rural roots to produce fresh interpretations of this popular Mexican regional music. 13 tracks, 52 minutes, 40-page booklet with extensive bilingual notes and photographs.
