Fandango Michoacano!!!!!
May 30, 2009
10:00 PM -1:00 AM $8.00

Traditional music from the hot land of Michoacan.

Juan Rivera & Los Pichardo proudly joined forces to offer a program dedicated to the music of Tierra Caliente, Michoacán. This west region of México is part of the cradle of Mariachi music. In this region we don't find trumpets in the music ensemble, instead we play with two violins, guitarra de golpe, vihuela and arpa grande. This last instrument gives the name to the style of music: Música de Arpa Grande (large harp music). The repertoire incorporates traditional styles like waltzes, ranchero songs, valonas (songs with poetry based on funny experiences), jarabes, minuetes and sones. This music used to be played in family parties and it is very lively and danceable.
