Chicago's premier Grammy Award winning folk music ensemble specializing in Mexican ‘son' including the regional styles of huapango, gustos, chilenas, son jarocho, and more, bring what the Chicago Reader calls "a dazzling array of Mexican folk-music forms with a preservationist's care, bursting with energy." Sones de México's demonstrates how immigrant musicians outside of their home country can not only preserve traditions but push them in new directions. The group dips into Mexico's vast and underexposed son repertoire and integrates everything from rock and folk, to Western classical, providing a musical antidote to limited perspectives on Mexican culture.
Special with this concert will be a Beyond the Music program at 7 PM in Milliken for all concert ticket holders. Come early and get a musical tour of Mexico's regional folk music instruments and styles with the members of Sones de Mexico Ensemble as your guide. They will speak about what to listen for in the major regional styles, give live demonstrations and take questions from the audience. This will be an informative introduction to the Ensemble's concert. This program is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
