Hermanos Herrera Perform and Discuss Family and Music

Listen to members of Hermanos Herrera perform, and discuss the inspirations behind their music in this short introductory video.

Sones Jarochos y Huastecos y Más available on CD and Digital.

Driven by their family’s devotion to traditional music, the Mexican American siblings Hermanos Herrera immersed themselves in a quarter century of mentorship by pillar performers of son huasteco and son jarocho, two favorite forms of Mexico’s rich musical heritage. They then applied their passion to the music, supercharging signature sounds with their own sentiment and an aggressive approach to playing the regional instruments of Veracruz harp, huapanguera and jarana guitars, and the distinctive Huastecan-style violin. In this debut Folkways album, they make their mark on musical gems popular on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border.
