Don Fallo and Son Candela

Posted on Friday, August 7

Rafael Figueroa Alaves known as Don Fallo has been an important creative force in the development of contemporary Son Jarocho. Both as a member of Grupo Siquisiri and as a solo artist, Don Fallo has impacted the vibrant genre incorporating the acoustic bass in this musical tradition. Don Fallo returns to the U.S. for a brief tour and makes his debut performance in Chicago on the stage of the Old Town School.
Special thanks to the Consulate General of Mexico for their financial assistance with this event.

A Son Jarocho workshop with the artists is offered in the Thursday Workshop Series.
