This presentation is the second of six programs in the Center for World Music’s Spring 2021 Virtual Encounters with World Music series.
The Regional Music of Mexico
Featuring Hermanos Herrera with Ethnomusicologist Tim Rice
January 31, 2:00 pm
This 50-minute live-hosted music and discussion event will explore the human experience as expressed through three styles of Mexican regional music. Hermanos Herrera, along with Dr. Rice, will explore the lived meanings of son jarocho, son huasteco, and accordion-based norteño music, from northern Mexico. They will discuss each genre’s history as well as the stylistic differences among them. They will also tell the story of how they came to dedicate themselves to performing these particular styles. After each prerecorded performance segment, the group, with instruments in hand, will answer any questions you may have about a particular instrument, music style, and the personal and social significance of their music. Bring your dancing shoes and your questions for what promises to be a fun-filled and music-filled presentation!
Registration required.
Hermanos Herrera will be addressing questions from the audience. Guests can log into YouTube to comment and ask questions of the artist.
