FROM August 15th TO August 19th
With over 30 years of experience as ambassadors of the Son Jarocho musical tradition, the group SON DE MADERA arrives in Pontós to share the Encuentro Son Jarocho with everyone.
Son Jarocho, deeply rooted in the vast land of Sotavento, is a cultural treasure that embodies centuries of history, tradition, and resilience. It is the living reflection of the communities that have preserved and enriched it over time, passing its essence down from generation to generation.
The fandango, the social epicenter where Son Jarocho comes to life, is a space where music, dance, poetry, and community converge, creating a unique atmosphere of interaction and celebration.
Through this gathering, we immerse ourselves in this tradition, opening the possibility of a musical and sonic exchange with other traditions and genres that help nurture and share within the community.
Comprehensive training in Son Jarocho will be offered to musicians and enthusiasts of all levels. Through a structured program combining theoretical lectures and practical workshops, participants will acquire the necessary tools to interpret and enjoy this musical genre. At the end of each day, we will hold fandangos where participants can put their acquired knowledge into practice. The Gathering will conclude with a concert in which all students will present the repertoire worked on during the course.
Musicians from other genres, as well as anyone with minimum level of percussion, wind instruments, bowed and plucked strings, singing, and dance, are welcome to participate.
