Do you know who I could contact to have some questions answered? Thanks! Hi,

I was a pupil of Thomas Stanford at the Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia and have great memories with him recording music in the Sierra Tlapaneca in Guerrero. It would be a better achievement if all these materials and work could be shared with all people, it's a shame we don't give it the recognition the deserves.

Jonathan, if you're going to the port city of Veracruz, check out the young and talented Son de Barro (http://www.myspace.com/sondebarro). You can also head to the Plaza de Armas any weekend night and there will be (touristy) folkloric dancing and often Son Jarocho groups, followed by the not-to-miss Danzon orchestras. I'd also highly recommend the Xalapa-based groups Son de Madera (modern son that leans towards traditional) and Sonex (more jazz-rock fusion). In the south of Veracruz, look up Los Cojolites and Los Pájaros del Alba. All of these groups tour frequently and are pretty good about posting their gigs on myspace. Another option is to just show up to Xalapa (a college town with a huge son jarocho scene) and look for posters advertising fandangos, or consult the Centro Cultural Los Lagos for event listings (tel: (228) 812 12 99). On Fridays and Saturdays, there is usually live son jarocho at the bar La Tavola. Suerte! thanks to both of you for reading!

Coincidentally, I will be travelling at the end of August in Veracruz along with my brother who lives in Mexico. Can anyone recommend how I can find son jarocho music to listen to live while there?
