About
Drawing on more than five generations of family tradition, the jarocho sound of Los Vega—of which the group is a true pillar—offers a journey into the rich ancestral heritage of Veracruz. Each concert is a vibrant folk festival, a warm fandango punctuated by the heel-clacking rhythms of zapateado and carried by the jaranas, requintos, and percussion. The group, which has performed on numerous prestigious stages—including Carnegie Hall under the direction of Philip Glass—also contributed to the soundtrack of the film *Frida*, which won the Oscar for Best Original Score.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
