| 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.
