Phenomenal! They are able to make the ocean breeze sing from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Montreal. United through family ties, the group’s members have been performing their son jarocho —a lively tradition of stringed instruments and songs from Veracruz—for over two decades.
Señores y Señoritas, dust off your best sombreros, don your heels and ruffled skirts—Los Vega is coming to town! Get ready to be blown away by the infectious joy of the percussive zapateado dance. This rousing ensemble of guitars and jaranas is tuned to the spirit of joy and exaltation, a combination that has been delighting jubilant fans across the United States, Canada, and China for years while their performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2019 helped to cement their international reputation.
The Vega family—Mexico’s unrivalled ambassadors on the global music scene—is composed of five extraordinary musicians: Claudio Vega on the requinto, Enrique Palacios Vega on the leona and vocals, Fredy Vega, Raquel Palacios Vega, and Saúl Bernal on the jarana, vocals and as zapateado dancers. A whirlwind of intensity and, above all, authenticity in a dazzling all-encompassing show.
In keeping with the spirit of Frida Kahlo’s Mexico, Los Vega paid tribute to the artist by contributing their talent to the soundtrack of Frida, a biopic starring Salma Hayek, with the song “La Bruja.” The film earned an Oscar for Best Original Score, a major boon to their musical career.
Dive headfirst into a pool of sensations and let your tears flow with “La Llorona,” or imagine “La Morena” dancing, and breathe in her bohemian aroma. With Los Vega’s vast repertoire, a lively Jarocho festival remains in full swing, day and night! A refreshing experience accompanied by delightful elixirs, or whatever takes your fancy…
