In Veracruz, Mexico, we find the roots of another element of Conjunto. There we find Mexcian Son Jarocho, a hybrid of Spanish poetry and African syncopated rhythms. Son jarocho “fandandos” are community parties; everyone sings, plays a janara, and takes a turn to climb up on the wooden platform, the tarima, to dance.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site and are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our curriculum offerings and how to become one of our teachers. That said, if you were on ExploreEverywhere, you clicked to find more information about a song or lesson, and landed here, you’re in the right place! Some links may be broken and a detail or two may be out of date…but close the popup window and enjoy!
