| | 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. |
