THE SON HUASTECO

the Son HuastecoThe music and dance of the region known as Huapango (Nahuatl: on the stage), distant relative of the seguidillas and Spanish fandangos, two of the most dramatic forms of flamenco.Flamenco is the folk style of southern Spain, languid, dull, and slow in general reflect the sterility of their region. The dance is saturated with complicated footwork. But in La Huasteca, due to its natural abundance and the meter and rhythm of huapango, the deep song of flamenco style becomes a light and agile, full of joy. The falsetto voice passenger sustained tones, is reminiscent of flamenco singing, and is the hallmark of huapango.
