Music of Veracruz [CD on Demand]
The region that is now the Mexican state of Veracruz gives us the intricate string band music of the conjuntos jaroches, featuring a diatonic harp, a small four-string guitar known as the requinto and one or two jaranas -- a thin-bodied guitar with eight strings. Singing is also a much-prized skill. Heritage Award Winners Los Pregoneros del Puerto formed as a professional group in 1964, and the members of the current group (which includes two founders) are counted among the best of the jarocho musicians heard today.This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media.
