Son Jarocho (Mexican music and art)

A couple of Mexican friends in Toronto who specialize in son jarocho from the Veracruz area. They perform under the name 'Café con Pan' with various musical guests.

El Pájaro cú

Los Pollos

Alec is also a very fine graphic artist who does beautiful prints and paintings that have that characteristically Mexican feeling of surreal intensity:

Great! Love Mexican folk music. Another Gringo (Assuming Alec is a Gringo) that did well was Travis Edmondson, along with Bud Dashiell, folk singers from the 50s with 'Malaguena Salerosa'. The ultimate (IMO) Mexican love song.

Cheers, Dave
