Here is the link to a conversation I had with Open Book Toronto about my new book Lotería Jarocha.
"Initially I knew of the place through music. Over ten years ago I started attending regional Huasteca music festivals in northern Veracruz where the warm reception made me feel part of a community of people sharing an appreciation for the area’s vibrant culture. Unlike my last book, Lotería Jarocha, an explanation of 60 folk songs from Veracruz, I only touch on music here. The emphasis is on the Huasteca’s rich mosaic of indigenous cultures."
