3 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Jarana"

This is not the most traditional bamba i could remember, but be sure it's really a good one. Laura cambrón, a californian native, is the singer. She also composed the lyrics, this time dedicated to the great césar chávez. Recorded in san francisco, ca. April 1, 2011. I used a h2 zoom.

La guacamaya (the macaw) one of the most popular songs of the traditional son jarocho genre. The interpreters are soneros del tesechoacán, a group originally from playa vicente, veracruz. They play those small guitars -imagine a ukelele in hands of a mexican- they call jaranas and also a 4 string guitar they call requinto. Recorded in oakland california. January 2012. I used a h2 zoom.

Pajarito it's the name of the song. What you hear are jacanas, the small traditional guitars used by jarocho's musicians, and one requinto guitar (and some kids laughing). Playing jaranas: elías meléndez, who i personally dubbed as "the muddy waters of son jarocho" -he passed away on 2017-; arturo barradas, leader of soneros del tesechoacan, a famous jarocho music band, and his son, young elías barradas. Playing the requinto guitar is adrián luna, who for many years was a member of the grammy awardees group los cojolites. Adrián luna's voice is on one song (el conejo) included in the soundtrack of the two oscars winner and internationally recognized movie frida (2002). Recorded with zoom, in 2013, in tuxtepec, oaxaca, during a jam session. Rip elías meléndez.
