Sones de Mexico Ensemble will be at the Getty Villa on April 10 & 11 in conjunction with The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire exhibition at the museum. Three years ago the band ventured into uncharted waters with Mexican folk retoolings of Led Zeppelin’s “Four Sticks” and J.S. Bach’s “Brandenburg 3-2” for their GRAMMY™ and Latin GRAMMY™ nominated album Esta Tierra Es Tuya (This Land Is Your Land) and now they are bringing Mexican folklore music close to home.

On Saturday, April 10, Sones will be joined by special guest Alfredo Lopez, leader of the Mexican music group Quetzalcoatl, for Songs from the Fifth Age. The concert will explore how the Aztec civilization has captivated and inspired artists for more than five centuries.

Sunday, April 11, Sones performs From the Moon’s Navel — a free concert for the whole family. Discover the magic of traditional songs and dances, legends and myths at this joy-filled, interactive concert. Perfect for kids ages six and up.

In a few weeks on April 24 Sones will be releasing their new CD — Fiesta Mexicana: Mexican Songs & Stories for Niños and Niñas and their Papás & Mamás. The sextet, formed by Victor Pichardo (music director), Juan Díes (producer), Lorena Iñiguez, Juan Rivera, Zacbé Pichardo, and Javier Saume offers something new to a generation of kids that is growing up in a globalized world: a bilingual, double album for the 21st Century with 44 tracks that include songs over 300-years-old, fantastic characters, and children’s entertainers Dan Zanes and Ella Jenkins as special guests singing in Spanish.
