Artist Description
His music has been labeled as “Irish Mariachi”. He is still influenced by folk music and in particular in artists that take folk music and transform it into something else, like The Pogues and Tom Waits. Rana Santacruz is quite fond of acoustic instrumentation and for his current project has chosen stuff like: accordions, guitars, guitarrones, jarana, harps, banjos, mandolins, violins, etc. Most of the songs are very romantic and are inspired by the innocence and simplicity found in traditional songs and vintage Mexican movies. The styles range from "Son Jarocho" -traditional music from Veracruz (a state in the eastern part of Mexico) which by the way, Rana believes to be one of the most beautiful music in the world - to Tambora - Mexican brass bands, in which the music is maybe not as beautiful but still very colorful, strong, and melodramatic.Latest Comment
