Music, Movies, and Books

Music ranges widely. I enjoy genres such as : Rock in both Spanish and English, son cubano, jarocho, classical, psychedelic rock, cumbia and so much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled/backpacked on a couple occasions alone through mexico for duration of three months each time. Whilst traveling I was introduced and fell in love with the Jarana and now I practice and love singing and playing jarocho music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to learn and share more! Just some information on what a Jarana is :)

The jarana jarocha is a guitar-shaped fretted stringed instrument from the southern region of the state of Veracruz, Mexico.

Son Jarocho is a regional folk musical style of Mexican Son from Veracruz, a Mexican state along the Gulf of Mexico. This music is community based and meant to involve others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't always travel with my Jarana, but if I do I will gladly play music. I will share smiles, positive energy, stories and gratitude.
