THE GROUP: Colonche is a fermented drink originating from the Mexican Bajío, which is obtained from the fermentation of the Red Cardona prickly pear. Fusion Colonche 432 is a musical group born in Bajío and formed by the love that its members share for traditional son jarocho, sones and Latin American music. Not being a group born in the musical tradition of Veracruz son, we have dared to incorporate new elements that generate a fresh musical and artistic proposal typical of our ensemble. The final mix includes new musical structures, instruments outside of tradition, own and vernacular poetry and even a little theater.
