'Mexico's
Ambassadors
of Song & Dance'.
"The Gran Folklorico de Mexico is currently one of the most
beautifully costumed folk-dance companies to appear in New York in
recent memory. The smiling performers had the audience clapping and
humming along several minutes into the program"
- The New York Times
Gran Folklorico de Mexico is a
world-wide traveling company of 35 singers, dancers and musicians. They
regularly perform in the United States and Canada, and have appeared
throughout Europe, Asia and South America.
Each region of Mexico has its own dances, corresponding
to their physical climate and traditions, but all are distinctly
Mexican. And all are performed with finesse and vigor. Theo Shanab, the General Director and winner of the
coveted first prize in folklore at the World Folklore Festival in
Yugoslavia, has preserved the authenticity of costumes, dances and
music.
He integrates genuine folk artists, both musicians and dancers,
maintaining a high artistic level throughout the performance. The
colorful, rhythmic, pulsating show is presented in a swirl of authentic
costumes with Mariachi, Marimba and Jorocho bands providing exciting
musical settings for the panorama of Mexican dance and song.
