Video Title:
Members of Son De Madera explains son jarocho; music for improvisation
Description:
Purchase music by Son de Madera: http://www.folkways.si.edu/son-de-madera/mi-tierra/latin-world/music/album/smithsonian 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 ("They are from 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.
