Ensamble Folklórico de Veracruz

In May, 2023 we welcomed Ensamble Folklórico de Veracruz from Xalapa, Veracruz, México. These 5 multi-talented musicians spent a week in residency with Los Lupeños where they broke down the structure of the son jarocho adding musical examples familiar to the dancers. Together they explored the symbiotic relationship between jarocho music and the folklórico steps that combine to create melody and rhythm. While they were in San José, they also played at the 2023 FOLKLOREADA community festival.  

This Residency was sponsored by generous grant support from the Hewlett Foundation.
