Macuilxochitl: Sones Huastecos con los hermanos Herrera

Los Angeles Times
... was a real treat that deserved more time on stage. The group showed tremendous strumming ability and vocal skills. Definitely not the usual childrens's group put on stage more for their cuteness than their musical ability......

Product Description:
Macuilxochitl is an ensemble of five young Herrera brothers who play "sones huastecos" with sophistication far beyond their young ages. They perform with an aggressive, energetic and passionate style that is exhilarating. They remain truly authentic to this marvelous musical genre.

The "Huasteca" region consist of several states of eastern and central Mexico, including, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, Hidalgo, and Puebla. The "son huasteco's" music style is part of the intricate Mexican music genre known as the "son". It requires virtuosity and mastery of the following instruments: the violin, the five string "jarana huasteca", and the "guitarra quinta" or "huapanguera".
