about
Since the group's inception, Los Camperos de Valles have come to represent the best in one of Mexico's most distinctive and uplifting folk music traditions— the son huasteco. Marked by florid poetry, soaring high falsetto vocals, and ornate and elaborate violin improvisation, the son huasteco hails from the Huasteca, one of Mexico's most celebrated cultural regions. The Huasteca, which overlaps six states in east-central Mexico— San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Hidalgo, Querétaro, and Puebla— is characterized by the historical blending of diverse cultures, including Spanish, indigenous, and African. The son huasteco has become an important expression of this centuries-old regional mestizo identity. Its form takes from the likes of Jazz in that it's heavily improvisational and follows a concept rather than a strict melody. The lyrics are poetic and usually consist of references to the elements (nature, love, etc). Line-up: Marcos Hernández (huapanguera guitar & falsetto voice) Gregorio Solano (jarana guitar, vocals, trovador) and Camilo Ramírez (fiddle) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
