Son De Madera
Son De Mi Tierra
(Smithsonian Folkways)
|
Son De Madera is leading folks to discover (or rediscover) Son Jarocho music. They use Son Jarocho to the fullest without being afraid to experiment with different sounds and textures. Along with groups such as Grupo Mono Blanco and Los Cojolites, Son De Madera remains both the preservers of a culture and the ones who push the genre forward. – Gomez Comes Alive, Hollywood
