Chicago’s premier Mexican folk music group, Sones de México specializes in son, a rich and lively Mexican music tradition and its many regional styles, including huapango, gustos, chilenas, son jarocho and the roots of Mariachi music. Over 25 folk string, percussion, and wind instruments are featured along with four-part vocal arrangements and acrobatic dance demonstrations. The group recreates the atmosphere of a traditional fandango (dance fiesta), where the most colorful, joyous and upbeat sones are played and danced until sunrise.
