Sones de México Ensemble teaches about Mexican music and
dance by recreating the atmosphere of a traditional fandango (dancefiesta),
where the most colorful, joyous and upbeat sones are
played and danced until sunrise. And the audience is invited
to participate! The group's joyous interpretation of the
Mexican son tradition includes many regional styles,
combined with acrobatic dance displays and bright four-part
harmony vocals. Specially created for young audiences, the
presentation features a masked dance, lessons about Aztec
cosmology and the ecosystem, musical concepts of tempo and
polyrhythms and the most famous Mexican son, "La
Bamba."
