Collection: Son Jarocho

Son Jarocho is a vibrant and energetic traditional folk music genre originating from Veracruz, Mexico. Known for its lively rhythms and poetic lyrics, this style blends indigenous, Spanish, and African influences. The music typically features stringed instruments like the jarana and requinto, accompanied by percussive elements such as the quijada (donkey jawbone) and zapateado (foot-stomping dance). Son Jarocho has evolved to include various sub-genres, including Corridos Cristianos, which infuses Christian themes into the traditional storytelling format, and Tololoche, which prominently features the bass-like tololoche instrument. These sub-genres showcase the versatility and adaptability of Son Jarocho, allowing it to maintain its cultural significance while embracing new musical expressions.
