Son Jarocho Music and Zapateado

Wednesdays, 7:00pm – 8:30pm 
Instructor: María de La Rosa

Son jarocho is a community music that reflects the cycle of life in its poetic lyrics. Classes at La Peña focus instruction on jarana jarocha, singing (including poetry), and percussion (including zapateado dance), although all son jarocho instruments are welcomed. Emphasis is placed on learning basic rhythms that are the keys to the majority of the sones jarochos and working together in music to understand “how all the parts fit together”. Join us in this community building experience to build our resilience against the ever increasing stresses of our urban lifestyle.

Please bring your own instruments, hard-soled shoes (for zapateado), and skirt, if you have them. A few instruments are available for in-class use.

Pricing: $30 Drop-in | $100 4-class package
Dates: Wednesdays, April 9, 16, 23, 30 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm
