Son Jarocho isn’t just a style of music from Mexico’s verdant Gulf Coast state of Veracruz. It’s a way of life and a culture expression that encompasses birth, marriage, death and everything in between. In collaboration with the San Francisco Son Jarocho Festival, Brava Theater and Round Whirled Records, the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival presents a special lunchtime concert showcasing some of the finest contemporary son jarocho groups. Topical and timeless, son jarocho is playful music created on signature instruments like the requinto (a diminutive guitar), the eight-string jarana jarocha, and the clattery quijada, a percussion implement.
