Driven by their family's devotion to traditional
music, the Mexican American siblings Hermanos
Herrera immersed themselves in a quarter century of
mentorship by pillar performers of son huasteco and son jarocho, two
favorite forms of Mexico's rich musical heritage. They then applied
their passion to the music, supercharging signature sounds with
their own sentiment and an aggressive approach to playing the
regional instruments of Veracruz harp, huapanguera and jarana guitars,
and the distinctive Huastecan-style violin. In this debut Folkways
album, they make their mark on musical gems popular
on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border.
Listen to their lead single, a
son jarocho medley, "Popurr? jarocho" on Spotify,
