About Son Jarocho Music Festival

It's a warm night at Tia Chucha's Bookstore in Sylmar, in California's San Fernando Valley, not a long way from the area where Ritchie Valens made a stone 'n' move rendition of the most celebrated child jarocho tune "La Bamba." Tonight, Aaron Castellanos is one of eight understudies in a music class held at the store. He's figuring out how to play the eight-string jarana, the fundamental instrument in the melodic style of child jarocho. "I like the way that the jarana sounds," he says. "I like how child jarocho conjures such a great amount of vitality into the playing and into the singing." Son jarocho originates from Veracruz, a state in the Gulf Coast area of Mexico, where three unique societies — Spanish, indigenous and African — met up over 500 years prior.

Castellanos is really taking in the "mosquito," one of the littlest jaranas, which has a perceptibly high pitch. "This is the main instrument that I've at any point adapted, so I need to continue playing," Castellanos says. "I need to purchase my own particular jarana and simply keep honing." Castellanos' instructor is Cesar Castro, a key figure at the focal point of the Son Jarocho blast in Los Angeles. Castro says that, since he moved to L.A. from Veracruz eight years prior, the quantity of child jarocho performers has been developing, and the nature of the music has been moving forward.
