Musical Flavors: Baxin Family from Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz
We welcomed the Baxin Cagal family, originally from Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, at the neighborhood gathering Musical Flavors. This family, dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of son jarocho, shared their traditions through music and gastronomy. Residents of Santa María la Ribera enjoyed traditional dishes prepared by Juana Cagal, while we talked about the countryside, Veracruz cuisine, and the cultural roots of the region. Maestro Arcadio Baxin also shared his wisdom regarding agricultural cycles and music, performing sones jarochos that reflect the link between the land and the musical tradition of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz.
