Young people learn to make guitars to help preserve the traditional music of Veracruz
Interest decreasing in traditional music known as son jarocho
If you heard the song La Bamba, you heard they are jarocho, a regional style of music from Veracruz, jarocho is a term used to describe someone or something from that state.
But despite the importance of music for the traditional culture of the state, transmitting it to the next generation is not an easy task.
However, musician Anastasio Martínez has taken on the challenge. In his case, it takes the form of an incipient program in the southern municipality of Cosoleacaque to teach the manufacture of the traditional guitars that are used, called jaranas.
“We started the program because there was a certain level of disinterest in son jarocho. It was getting lost in the local culture, at least in southern Veracruz. The tradition was dying because the children were not interested, “he was attracted to other attractions such as celebrating Halloween, Martínez said.
With only four months of existence, the program already has 30 participants between 7 and 17 years old. Even three of the mothers who accompany their children have begun to make jaranas.
Martínez is encouraged. “The response has been very good. They are enjoying how I work, and they like to draw the molds and design their own instruments, add a drawing or other detail.”
