La Tuza is a dynamic acoustic trio that performs Mexican roots music. Their repertoire includes pieces from African-influenced son jarocho of southern Veracruz, the swinging son calentano of the Mexican Hotlands, and the fiery son huasteco of central Mexico. Although a trio, this ensemble plays a myriad of culturally diverse instruments to fully capture their exotic sound. Their sound of "son" is becoming more and more familiar in urban centers in North America . This is as fine a representation of this indigenous music as you're likely to hear this side of the Rio Grande.
