Country: Mexico

Artist Bio: 

Mexico's los Camperos de Valles helped introduce the fiery, wiry son huasteco music to the U.S., building a reputation as the greatest son huasteco trio. They are singer Marcos Hernandez, one of the finest Mexican falsetto singers; jarana guitarist Gregorio Solano; and violinist Heliodoro Copado, a man brimming with creative genius.

Although the band is established on the world music circuit, having played in England, France, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, the U.S., and other countries, they still retain their place as the star for weddings and parties in the Huasteca region of Mexico.

This supertrio, with their trademarks of improvisation and falsetto singing, are unique in their interpretations of traditional son from the province of Huasteco.
