Son de Madera, heralded as one of the most innovative ensembles to delve into the rich Son Jarocho tradition, is based in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The repertoire of Son de Madera comes mainly from the sones of the traditional fandango (musical fiesta) on the south of Veracruz, from the experience of the popular fiesta around the dance platform (tarima). Endowed with an enormous talent for musical arrangements and for research, Son de Madera expands on its multiethnic musical traditions and has landed itself at the top among peers in the current movement of the Son.

Workshops scheduled will be in jarana and zapateado and will be two days, three hours each. All levels are welcome, adjustments will be handled by instructors.
