Rubí Oseguera adds her own creative flourishes to the son jarocho of Veracruz, Mexico, through traditional zapateado dance. Performed on a raised wooden platform that amplifies the sound of her feet, the zapateado adds percussive rhythm and depth to the music.

Founded in 1992, Son de Madera forms part of the current jaranero movement. Its main goal is to diffuse son jarocho based on the research of traditional forms, the incorporation of new sounds, and the revival of community gatherings of music-making and dance called fandangos. Their recordings have been used in film soundtracks, television documentaries, and theater.
