Los Folkloristas is a vibrant music ensemble dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Latin American folk music. Founded in Mexico City in 1966 during a time of burgeoning interest in traditional music and culture, the group became known for its passionate efforts to research, interpret, and perform a wide array of musical traditions from various regions of Latin America. Over the years, Los Folkloristas have captivated audiences with their broad repertoire, which includes songs and compositions from different countries, each rich in distinct rhythms, instruments, and cultural significance.

Celebrating over half a century of musical exploration and education, Los Folkloristas have built a substantial discography that both honors the past and introduces it to new generations. Their recent releases, such as "Mujer," "Cantando Raíces," "50 Años," and "45 Años (En Vivo)," commemorate their enduring legacy and the milestones in their journey. These works do not simply catalog traditional tunes; they breathe new life into them, as the group continues to tour, record, and inspire a sense of unity through the universal language of music. Their albums like "Veracruz," "Michoacán," "Ecuador," and "Venezuela" are testaments to their dedication to each region's unique sound, while projects such as "El Coco (Captain Planet Remix)" display their willingness to blend the old with the new through innovative interpretations. Los Folkloristas remain a symbol of the rich cultural tapestry of Latin America and continue to be ambassadors for its folk music traditions.
