Mexican roots outfit Jarana Beat fuses elements of Mexico's African and Amerindian traditions with salsa, cumbia, and other contemporary music in its present-day take on folkloric music. With contagious charm and good vibes, this band is capable of getting any audience on its feet! Musical director Sinuhé Padilla-Isunza has mined the musical traditions of his native Mexico and other Latin American countries in an ongoing search for a distinct style with roots, resulting in the creation of this musical amalgam. Teaching and performing in venues such as Berklee College of Music, The Bowery Ballroom, Symphony Space, Dollywood's Festival of Nations, an interview on NPR's Tell Me More, and an official showcase at SXSW 2012 in Austin, Jarana Beat weaves a truly colorful journey through the Afro-Amerindian culture of Mexico.
