How a Salvadoran family preserved their musical heritage in Northern Virginia
In short: Discover the vibrant sounds of Los Hermanos Lुovo, a Chanchona group that carried the rhythms of El Salvador to the United States during a period of intense civil war.
Led by violinist Trinidad Lovo, the group consists largely of the extended Lovo family, including members such as drummer Yonatan Fuentes and bassist Hozmín. They fled El Salvador in the late 1980s, bringing the Chanchona tradition to Leesburg, Virginia.
The music features dual violin melodies, cumbia rhythms, and fast-paced merengue. Notable tracks include 'El carnaval de mi tierra' and 'La salvadoreña,' which features signature 'lobo' or wolf howls.
