Poetry, Dance, Afro Jarocho Music

Patricio Hidalgo inherited a sensibility of son jarocho from his grandfather Arcadia Hidalgo, a founder of the revivalist movement in the 60s, when the music had all but disappeared. Today, Patricio is a world-renown musician and poet, as well as proponent for the musical and social roots of jarocho in mestiza, indigenous, and African traditions. Join us to meet the artist and hear student poems inspired by Hidalgo’s work.
