Son del Viento
www.myspace.com/sondelvientochicago
Son del Viento's music is rooted in the son jarocho folk tradition, a
centuries old fusion of indigenous, Spanish and African music from
Veracruz, Mexico. Today, son Jarocho incorporates a range of timeless
elements, melodic and rhythmic instruments, and poetic lyrics, all
gathered around the tarima wooden platform, where community dancers
carry the percussive groove of the fandango.
Son del Viento interprets traditional jarocho music, with occasional
currents of reggae, cumbia, or blues, giving expression to this son in
the Windy City. Son del Viento's members range from seasoned Mexican
son performers to youthful talent carrying son jarocho into the next
generation. SdV members are: Ral Fernndez (requinto, vocals, cajn),
Jaime Garza (leona bass, vocals), Ricardo Salazar (jarana, vocals),
Maya Fernndez (jarana, vocals, zapateo dance, quijada), Jim Hartman
(marimbol, vocals), and Adrian Alcantar (jarana, cajn, vocals,
dance). Son del Viento's rhythms accompany fandango (dance parties),
where all are invited to share in collective music that can last all
night. Son del Viento has performed since 2004 at music festivals,
cultural and educational programs, and organizes the Jarochicanos
workshop, teaching son jarocho music and dance to teens and youth.
