Arte Salazar – Friends & Resources

Son Del Viento of Chicago

Conformado hace cuatro años por los músicos chicaguenses de amplia y sólida trayectoria Raúl Fernández (requinto, percusión, y voz) y Jaime Garza (leona y voz), además de Ricardo Salazar (jarana segunda y voz), Jim Hartman (marimbol), Adrian Alcantar (jarana, cajón y voz) y la incorporación de la talentosa joven Maya Fernández (voz, jarana y zapateado), este grupo nos remite a la atinada y fructífera combinación del son veracruzano (jarocho y huasteco), con el viento de resistencia e identidad mexicana y chicana, en esta ciudad de intensos jarochos y jaraneros, que es Chicago (rebautizada por tanto como Jaro-Chicago). Una fiesta sonera del fandango profundo nos invita a zapatear con fervor, al escuchar el amplio repertorio con que Son del Viento contribuye a la imparable celebración de nuestra raíz cultural.

Fandanguero
Based in Chicago, Fandanguero plays an important role in the revival of the Son Jarocho movement.  Fandanguero teaches, performs and lives the traditions of Veracruz, Mexico. Fandanguero adds a little “Chicago” to their Son, adding non traditional instruments such as electric bass, bongos and music styles from around the globe: Samba, Cuban Son, Afro-Peruvian, and Flamenco.
