Son Jarocho Ensemble

Learn the music of Veracruz, Mexico, from swag外流's master of the genre, C茅sar Castro!

Cesar Castro, director

Son Jarocho Ensemble introduces students to the songs and instrumental techniques of son jarocho, a musical genre from Veracruz, Mexico, that mixes indigenous Mexican, African, Spanish, and Arabic sounds. Students learn to play jarana, the eight-stringed guitar that provides the harmonic scaffold for son jarocho. In addition to weekly rehearsals with the ensemble, students participate in a public performance at the end of the semester. No prior music experience is required.
