Our partner Magaly Flores of Colibri Mexican Folkdance teaches us about Son Jarocho, a genre of music and dance that originated in Mexico’s state of Veracruz.

Son Jarocho is a Spanish/Creole, African musical fusion from Mexico’s coastal plain area of Veracruz. Son Jarocho musicians gather often in public festive musical and dance parties called Fandangos during which all members of the community are welcome to participate in making music.
