Summary:
"Driven by their family's devotion to traditional music, the Mexican American siblings Hermanos Herrera immersed themselves in a quarter century of mentorship by pillarformers of son huasteco and son jarocho, two favorite forms of Mexico's rich musical heritage. They then applied their passion to the music, superchrging signature sounds with their own sentitment 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. 48 minutes, 40-page booklet with bilingual notes."--Back cover.
