Tlen Huicani, which translates to "the singers" in the indigenous Nahuatl language, is a musical ensemble renowned for preserving and promoting the rich folkloric music of Veracruz, Mexico. Formed in 1973 by maestro Alberto de la Rosa, Tlen Huicani takes pride in presenting traditional sounds infused with a blend of indigenous, Spanish, and African musical influences, characteristic of the son jarocho style. Over the years, the group has earned international acclaim through performances that showcase the harp's pivotal role in Veracruz music, exemplified by de la Rosa's virtuosity.

Through their extensive repertoire, Tlen Huicani has become a cultural ambassador for the Veracruz region. Albums like "Todo Veracruz Es Bello" celebrate the beauty of their homeland, while "Misa Jarocha" and "Pasión Jarocha" honor the deep-set traditions of the jarocho genre. Their work often features the rich combination of string instruments, percussive elements, and vocals that epitomize the son jarocho style. With a dedication to excellence and authenticity, Tlen Huicani continues to captivate audiences, both in Mexico and internationally, with their profound passion for the traditional music of Veracruz.
