What do Veracruz and NYC have in common? Radio Jarocho, that’s what. They’re the only group in the city that is dedicated to Son Jarocho and Fandango. They’ve just came out with a new album this June, so be sure to check it out.
"Radio Jarocho is the only New York City-based project devoted entirely to the son jarocho and fandango traditions from southern Veracruz, Mexico. Formerly known as Semilla, Radio Jarocho has performed in notable events dedicated to Mexican and Latin American folk arts, including: Celebrate México Now, Brooklyn Folk Music Festival, National Geographic’s All Roads Film Festival, Lincoln Center’s La Casita, and Brooklyn Botanical Garden’s Chili Fest. The group’s first recording, Radio Jarocho, was released in June 2009." - Celebrate Mexico Now 2009
