Ecos del Radif

Jaroho — style of music from the city of Veracruz, located on the Mexican side of the Gulf of Mexico. The name of the style either comes from the old Spanish word "rough" or "disorderly," or from the name of a long fishing spear. Participants in groups performing music in the jaroho style wear white shirts, pants, and hats, and men tie a red bandana around their necks. Ecos del Radif — collaboration between the group Al Golpe del Guatimé, performing jaroho, and the Iranian-Canadian trio Regard Persian, dedicated to Iranian traditional music. The unusual combination of sounds has produced music reminiscent of the traditions of southern Spain, conquered by the Umayyad Caliphate in the 8th century and long influenced by the culture of the Arab world.
