Cambalache (a word meaning “exchange”) is a Chicano-Jarocho group based in East Los Angeles, founded in 2007 and led by Cesar Castro (Master Luthier Sonero and Jarocho from Veracruz, Mexico). Cambalache promotes traditional Son Jarocho music through concerts, presentations and workshops. In the spirit of the fandango, a traditional celebration based on music and dance, Cambalache invites the public to participate in their presentations. Their educational objectives include presentations ranging from primary schools to universities, museums and music festivals.
