11th Annual Encuentro de Jaraneros Son Jarocho Festival
Saturday, August 18, 2012
12pm-12am
El Encuentro de Jaraneros finds its new home at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes to celebrate the 11th Annual Son Jarocho Music Festival.
Join us as the burgeoning local Son Jarocho scene comes together for its signature yearly event! This FREE festival is literally a “Meeting of Jarana Players,” but more explicitly a celebration of the driving, high-spirited jarocho music and dance of Veracruz, Mexico. Son Jarocho is named after the small strummed rhythm guitar that is the genre’s cornerstone.
This spectacular event is produced in collaboration with LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes and El Comité Organizador del Encuentro. Hosted by KPFK’s Betto Arcos & Rafael Figueroa of Radio Más from Veracruz!
Enjoy a headline performance by Veracruz native Patricio Hidalgo.
And performances by LA’s own musical talent, including:
