Mexico is world renowned for its rich cultural diversity, but the Gulf Coastal state of Veracruz boasts an exceptionally complex and layered history that\u2019s matched by few other regions in the country. Home to Mayan civilizations that began thousands of years ago and whose cultures continue to shape Veracruz today, the state\u2019s colonial legacy is as old as encounter: beginning in 1519 with the landing of Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s and his followers at what is now the port city of Veracruz. In the wake of the conquest, the region\u2019s wealthy <\/span><\/span>hacendados <\/span><\/em>(landed elites) imported more African slaves than anywhere else in New Spain. The trauma of the trans-Atlantic slave trade failed to eradicate African cultural heritage and traditions, which continued in many forms, but which are especially evident in Veracruz\u2019s food, song, and dance. The musical style of <\/span><\/span>son jarocho<\/em> <\/span>(made popular in the United States by Richie Valens\u2019s recording of \u201cLa<\/span> <\/span><\/em>Bamba,\u201d a traditional <\/span><\/span>son jarocho <\/span><\/em>song) developed from such Afro-Mexican traditions, as did the dances of <\/span><\/span>el chuchumb\u00e9 <\/span><\/em>and the Veracruz style of <\/span><\/span>fandango<\/em>, both of which are associated with the musical style. This music and dance also relate to the history of <\/span><\/span>cimarron<\/em> <\/span>communities in Veracruz\u2013which is to say, run-away slave communities that resisted Spanish domination.<\/span><\/p>\n
