Arpex is a vibrant musical ensemble that stands as a guardian of the rich traditions of Tierra Caliente, a region spanning the states of Michoacán, Guerrero, and the State of Mexico. Specializing in the genre's quintessential "Conjunto de Arpa Grande," the group pays homage to the area's cultural heritage through the resonant strings of the "arpa grande" or large harp, which is the centerpiece of their sound. The group's repertoire blends the lively rhythms of son calentano and gustos, celebrating the musical lineage that has been passed down through generations.

With releases such as "¡Tierra Caliente! Music from the Hotlands of Michoacán" and "Esto Si Es Arpa," Arpex has built a discography that serves as both an introduction to the uninitiated and a cherished library for aficionados of the genre. Songs like "El Corral" and "Pero Maria" showcase the group's dexterity in weaving intricate melodies with the strumming and plucking that characterize their namesake instrument. Arpex not only echoes the soul of a region but also contributes to the continual evolution of its living tradition, ensuring its pulse throbs vibrantly in the modern musical landscape.
