  WHAT IS THE SON JAROCHO?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Although the traditional manner of transmitting the son jarocho from generation to generation is common, the aspect of teaching the son jarocho to students in an academic setting is new and a vibrant new part of the son jarocho tradition.
The movimiento stresses the Afro-caribbean aspects of the son jarocho and at the head of this movement is grupo Mono Blanco (right) who since 1978 has recorded various albums, traveled throughout the world, and conducted various workshops and conferences concentrating on their unique style of the son jarocho.
Although the ensembles on this side of the border have obviously formed out of the traditional contextual environment of the son jarocho, these musicians have traveled to Mexico and abroad to establish the traditional master/apprentership relationships which are vital in the transmission of the son jarocho.

Jarochos music comes from the Veracruz area, and is distinguished by a strong African influence.
The most legendary performer is Graciana Silva, whose Discos Corason releases made inroads in Europe.
Southern Veracruz is home to a distinct style of Jarochos that is characteristically lacking a harp, is played exclusively by requinto or jarana guitars, and is exemplified by the popular modern band Mono Blanco.

Upon the arrival of the Spanish the term "jarocho" was used to refer to the mulatto people who appeared as a result of the mixture of the Spanish with the African slaves and the indian people.
Today "jarocho" is used to refer to all the people who originate from this area and is, in fact, a source of pride to the natives to be called "jarocho."
The son jarocho is undoubtedly the art form most traditionally associated with the state of Veracruz, even though it is only truly a part of the central region of the state.

 World Music Central - Sones Jarochos from Veracruz
Jarocho describes both the people and culture of the southern coastal plain of Veracruz, home for more than two centuries to one of Mexico's most exciting musical traditions, the son jarocho.
Although son jarocho is lesser known abroad than other Mexican styles such as corridos, cumbias and rancheras; songs such as "La Bamba," "Cascabel," and "Siquisirí" occupy a major spot in Mexico's musical folklore.
José Gutiérrez, Felipe Ochoa, and Marcos Ochoa, raised on the tropical ranchos of Veracruz's interior, are three of the most accomplished ambassadors of the modern-day son jarocho tradition.

 Bagatellen: La Negra Graciana — Sones Jarochos with the Trio Silva (Corason)
Okay, I’ll admit it; I bought this one based on the cover.The portrait of Graciana Silva in paisley mu-mu poised at her harp, front-teeth capped with gold, won me over instantly when spotted in the bargain bin at Let It Be Records.
The repertoire centers on the son jarocho, a songbook popular among mariachis that blends subtle African-influenced counter rhythms with an epoxy of Spanish and mestizo-derived melodic content.
Graciana’s boisterous and occasionally strident vocals dance atop a scintillating surface of braiding harp chords, her “ll’s” trilling with comparable coquettish enthusiasm.

 MEXICO HOT OR NOT - The Cuisine of Veracruz: A Tasty Blend of Cultures - MEXICAN COOKING - COCINA MEXICANA -
Within the boundaries formed by the warm coastal waters to the east and the Sierra Madre Oriental to the west is an enticing pot-pourri of cultures.
This variety and abundance was given a further culinary boost with the arrival of the Spaniards, who introduced herbs such as parsley, thyme, marjoram, bay laurel and cilantro, as well as many of the spices that would later characterize Veracruz cooking.
Plantains, yucca and sweet potatoes, all important elements of West African cooking, also became firmly ensconsed in the jarocho cuisine that was comprised of the diverse flavors of three continents.

 FAME Review: La Iguana Sones Jarochos: Various Artists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The music is performed mainly on stringed instruments like harp, Spanish guitar, jarana guitar and requinto guitar; the last two instruments are of varying sizes and numbers of strings.
As mentioned in the excellent and well-researched CD liner notes, the singing approach is very "gutsy" and the pregonero or lead singer "has a style of almost speaking out the lyrics rather than competing with the melodic flourishes on the harp and requinto." The tempos range from slow and waltzy to rapid and passionate.
Needless to say, with the inherent improvisational nature of the Son Jarocho, listeners are in for some really virtuosic musicianship.

The word Jarocho describes both the people and culture of the southern plain of Veracruz, and their complex, hard-driving folk music is a source of national Mexican pride.
On 'La Bamba,' three of the most accomplished ambassadors of the Jarocho style, Jos³ Guti³rrez and brothers Felipe Ochoa and Marcos Ochoa, perform 21 romantic and heartfelt songs.
Guti³rrez builds and plays all three of the traditional jarocho instruments -the jarana (a thin-bodied guitar), the requinto jarocho (a four-stringed guitar plucked with a four inch pick), and the arpa jarocha (a harp standing five feet tall and played with both hands).

Hundreds of poor villagers from the state of Veracruz are currently stranded in Ciudad Juárez after falling victim to a scam in which they left their homes for the promise of jobs paying "800 to 1,000 pesos per week" in the border city.
Some live in cramped, filthy quarters--in one building, 50 people share the same bathroom--provided by the agency which allegedly deceived them and still charges them rent.
El Diario reported December 20 that some of the stranded jarochos had found work in maquiladoras, while others were seeking work in restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in the tourist zone downtown.
