Son Jarocho

Well I guess it's time to discuss another type of music from Mexico. Recently reading I learned about Son Jarocho music. It was a mix of Mexican music and African styles. This was an interesting concept. Reading more into this genre it is explained that this is Mexican Folk music. This is something that could be very important especially when you think the impact of folk music has had on the United States. Something that really stuck out in my mind was how while reading it is said that the same song is never exactly alike. Each has it's own uniqueness. If things of this nature intrigues anyone else take a look at the website.
