Recently I did a class multimedia project about an East Austin music group called Son Armado that plays music of "son jarocho", a music genre originated from Veracruz, Mexico. Here're some shots of their practice:
Peter Mendoza, co-founder of Son Armado, demonstrates a song to community members by singing and playing a “jarana,” a guitar-like instrument.
On the wall of their work space, there are framed posters of the past events that they have participated in.
A community member plays the “jarana”in front of a poster for reproductive rights, a cause the group supports.
Co-founder of Son Armado, Alexis Herrera, writes lyrics to a song so members at the community workshop can sing along.
A community member dances on a "tarima", a wooden board for dancers to add more percussion to the song, with the traditional music at Son Armado's Sunday workshop.
A community member plays the “jarana”during a practice session on at Son Armado’s community work space at Springdale Road in East Austin.
Community members enjoy themselves during a community workshop. In addition to their space on Springdale Road, the members also meet to practice at Treasure City Thrift, a second-hand store in East Austin.
Son Armado member Steph Prtzl plays the violin during the group's weekly practice at Treasure City Thrift.
Son Armado member Joanna Sauceda plays the “marimbol,” a bass instrument, during the group’s performance at Mi Madre's Restaurant in East Austin.
