Hombres Tierra is a work that celebrates the cultural richness of jarocho heritage through music and theatre, delving into the historical legacy of Veracruz.
It is a tribute to jarocho tradition, a thematic journey that crosses historical sources and popular imagination. It proposes an encounter between generations around the value of knowledge of one's origins, a metaphor for the human being and their bond with the land where they are born. It presents a rich collection of themes that form the core of our regional worldview: the legacy of slavery, the influence of Afro-descendant communities on culture, the syncretism with Spanish customs, the cimarronaje that shaped “lo jarocho”, labour in ranches and haciendas, collective rituals, mythical beliefs, and musical creativity. Hombres Tierra is a unique mix of music and theatricality, representative of the Sotavento of Veracruz.
Hombres Tierra premiered in 2016 and is part of the trilogy composed of Hombres Pájaro and Hombres Fuego, a triptych that narrates the historical and cultural legacy of the state of Veracruz.
