Rhythm, passion, and magic are the essence of
Jarocho, a dance spectacle that transforms ancient folklore into modern
entertainment. At the heart of this show is son jarocho, a fusion of
traditions belonging to Africa, Europe and American indigenous peoples. It is a
unified expression, which for more than 200 years has been the signature sound
of the Mexican tropics.
Original compositions and traditional songs like
“La Bamba” combine with a number of dance genres on a programme hailed by
critics as the “most ambitious” and “most relevant” original Mexican production
in decades.
Jarocho is Mexico, unexpected!
Duration: approximately 2 hours, including one
