Son del Viento’s music is rooted in the son jarocho folk tradition, a centuries old fusion of indigenous, Spanish and African music from Veracruz, México. Today, son jarocho incorporates a range of timeless elements, melodic and rhythmic instruments, and poetic lyrics, all gathered around the tarima wooden platform, where community dancers carry the percussive groove of the fandango.
Son del Viento – interprets traditional jarocho music, with occasional currents of reggae, cumbia, or blues, giving expression to this son in the Windy City. Son del Viento’s members range from seasoned Mexican son performers to youthful talent carrying son jarocho into the next generation. SdV members are: Raúl Fernández (requinto, vocals, cajón), Jaime Garza (leona bass, vocals), Ricardo Salazar (jarana, vocals), Maya Fernández (jarana, vocals, zapateo dance, quijada), Jim Hartman (marimbol, vocals), and Adrian Alcantar (jarana, cajón, vocals, dance). Son del Viento’s rhythms accompany fandango (dance parties), where all are invited to share in collective music that can last all night.
