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.

Please visit their myspace page for a performance schedule.
