How a Mexican musical movement revived community dance and song
In short: Experience the vibrant energy of Son de Madera, a group from Veracruz, Mexico, performing at the 2009 Smithsonian Folklife Festival through a blend of dance and song.
Founded in 1992, Son de Madera is a key part of the jaranero movement. Their mission focuses on spreading son jarocho by researching traditional forms, integrating new sounds, and reviving the fandango—a community gathering centered on music and dance.
The group's 2009 Smithsonian Folkways album, 'Son de Mi Tierra', was even recognized as a finalist for the Best Latin Album at the 2009 Independent Music Awards.
