Veracruz is the origin of jarochero music.
Here is a link to better description than I could ever create.
What is the son jarocho? - both in english and español.
Yes, there are also a few mariachis marching around
and musica tropical and romantico is well represented
by groups of troubadors charging around 10 pesos per
musician per song.
But that´s more and more for tourists. Rock´n Roll is
lamentably here to stay while ranchero music
(Mexican country) is still putting up a good fight on the
local juke boxes.
