Sones de Mexico Ensemble
A Must See Complimentary Musical Event

This two-time GRAMMY Award nominated ensemble is rooted in Mexican ‘son’ and plays all-original arrangements: traditional and experimental, from true-to-tradition huapangos and son jarocho to new hybrids of rock, classical and folk.

With a collection of over 30 acoustic instruments from different regions of Mexico and lush vocal harmonies this adventuresome sextet becomes a small orchestra that explores Mexican folk music in the 21st Century.

Their mission is to promote greater appreciation of Mexican folk and traditional music and culture through innovative performance, education and dissemination.

"While the group plays with contagious energy and a sweet elegance, it gives the music resonance with some social relevance..."   
The Star-Ledger, Newark

“The Chicago-based ensemble renders Mexican son flawlessly while giving original twists to Guthrie, Led Zeppelin, and Bach. . ."
Pasadena Weekly

“After 13 years in the U.S. these overachievers bring so much authenticity to the regional folk styles, so much virtuosity to the orchestral excursions (on which they play over 50 all-acoustic instruments), and add so much fun to everything they touch––you can’t help but surrender to their creativity.”
The Beat, Los Angeles
