The Pasatono Orquesta, a band in the traditional style of the highland villages in Southern Mexico, recently toured the largest US metropolis, promoting their new album. The album, Maroma, was named after a popular travelling circus, and recreates the sounds of Gypsy marches and the ambience of clown performances. Pasatono’s brand mixes festive music with traditional Mixtec instruments. Leaders of the band visit our studios in Oakland. This is a Holiday edition.
Guests: Ruben Luengas, Artistic Director, Patricia García, Violin player; Edgar Serralde, Voice and jarana player; Pasatono Orquesta, Oaxaca City.
