With a cast of some of Los Angeles' best folk musicians, Grupo Aves presents the traditional and popular music that has for 200 years shaped the Mexican musical landscape. From the coastal plains of Veracruz, to the jungles of the Huasteca region, to the urban streets of Mexico City, this folk string ensemble driven by the harp and violin takes us on a musical journey incorporating the deep roots
of regional tradition while pushing the envelope of tasteful musical invention. The audience is captivated by the wide spectrum of genres found in Mexico's repertoire, including sones, huapangos, boleros, rancheras, polkas, and even classical pieces. Grupo Aves lifts expectations of a string ensemble's musical potential with sharply honed instrumental technique, engaging arrangements, and tight vocal harmonies that fuse themselves into artful interpretations of traditional Mexican music. With the addition of Folklore Pasión Mexicana and their authentic footwork and youthful style of traditional Mexican Folkloric dance, the performance soars to new heights of artistic expression, storytelling, and illumination of rich Mexican culture and tradition.
