David Haro

Born in Jáltipan in Veracruz, Mexico, David Haro is a prolific
composer and authentic modern troubadour whose music
expresses the rich folkloric tradition of the El Sotavento
region of Veracruz, where music, poetry, and dance are a
part of everyday life.

As with the European troubadours of old, who together with
dancers traveled from place to place singing their poetry, this
modern troubadour brings us news and reflections from his
homeland, along with always-welcome songs of love and
hope.
With the guitar and voice as his main instruments, David Haro
is an inexhaustible fountain of musical poetry for whom
improvising songs inspired by the traditional Veracruz rhythms
of huapango, son jarocho, bolero and rumba has been a part
of his life since age 14.

Through the fusion of these traditional rhythms with
contemporary harmony and a poet’s sensibility, David Haro
takes us on a magical voyage to the land of his birth, El
Sotavento, which also includes a journey through his heart,
mind, and soul.  
David Haro’s compositions have been performed and recorded by dozens of artists and there are more than ten different versions of some of his greatest songs.
This immensely talented composer already has two albums of original songs and is working on his third CD, but he already has enough material for at least another
20 albums.
