La Bamba Sones Jarochos from Veracruz CD
|
Country or Region: MEXICO
Catalog No: SF-40505
|
|
Jarocho (hah-ROH-cho) describes both the people and
culture of the southern coastal plain of Veracruz, home for more than
two centuries to one of Mexico's most exciting musical traditions, the
son jarocho. Songs such as "La Bamba," "Cascabel," and "Siquisirí"
occupy a major spot in Mexico's musical folklore. José Gutiérrez,
Felipe Ochoa, and Marcos Ochoa, raised on the tropical ranchos of
Veracruz's interior, are three of the most accomplished ambassadors of
the modern-day son jarocho tradition. They play complex, hard-driving
rhythms on the Veracruz harp and on the guitars called jarana and
requinto, and sing high-pitched vocal melodies brimming with wit and
regional pride. They have toured Europe, the United States, Central
America, and Mexico, while in Veracruz they continue to enliven
weddings, baptisms, public events, and celebrations of all kinds.
Extensive notes in English and Spanish.
