Biography: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.

BASE CONCERT: Concert "Sones to laugh, sing and cry" This concert brings together a compendium of Jarocho sounds, both traditional (El Coco, El Pájaro Cú, La Bamba, El Colás) and newly created (La Gallina, El Compromiso, etc).
With this mix of sounds through the sound of the ensemble, the public will enjoy a wide range of feelings and emotions that range from nostalgia and love to the mischievous and the profane.
This is seasoned with several poems and tenths rescued from past times and others of our own. (Son Jarocho dates back to colonial times, where Spanish, indigenous and African elements were mixed)
This show is to move from the heart to the feet and adapts to any type of setting; Restaurant, Theater, Main Plaza, Cultural Center, etc. It can be with an audio or acoustic system, depending on the need and its duration is variable as required by the event.
