Fallo Figueroa and Son Candela
August 10, 2009
Don Rafael (Fallo) Figueroa has been a leading figure in son jarocho for decades. He has developed a very personal style while maintaining a vision that balances the significance of his musical heritage and the importance of the innovations that keep son jarocho alive.
The young musicians that form Son Candela started their musical studies of traditional son jarocho at the Casa de Cultura in Tlacotalpan, and have been performing throughout Mexico since 2003. They are currently the music ensemble for the Ballet Folklórico Tlaxcotaliapan in Tlacotalpan.

Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo
August 8, 2010
Hermeto Pascoal is a prolific Brazilian musician born in 1936 whose compositions and performances evade categorization, often taking extremely unconventional instruments and techniques as a basis. He began his career playing on recordings for now-prominent Brazilian groups, and went on to play with jazz figures such as Miles Davis, whose album Live-Evil introduced Pascoal to a larger audience.
