A garage in Santa Clara, California has become a meeting place for regular fandangos, or festivals of traditional Mexican music. Each month young people, children and adults meet there to dance and play tunes from different parts of Mexico, from son jarocho from Veracruz to the son abajeño and mariachi of Western Mexico. Our reporter Zaidee Stavely went to a traditional huapangueada, of son huasteco, the genre that is closest to the heart of the master musician who brings them all together. This feature story is part of our series Raices: Los Maestros, about artists who are passing their art on to the next generation.
