Los Vega is a music ensemble deeply rooted in the rich tradition of Son Jarocho, a regional folk musical style of Mexican Son from Veracruz, on the Gulf coast of Mexico. Led by the multi-generational Vega family, the group is known for their mastery in traditional forms while also bringing a contemporary edge to their performances. The respect and homage they pay to their musical heritage is epitomized in their recent release "Familia Vega - Homenaje a Andrés Vega Delfín," where they honor the legacy of Andrés Vega Delfín, a family member and celebrated musician in the Son Jarocho tradition.

Their discography, with albums like "...y Sigue La Tradición," showcases their commitment to preserving the time-honored customs of their music, while also allowing their sound to evolve. Through their album "De a Montón," they demonstrate the social aspect of Son Jarocho that is meant to bring people together, capturing the vibrant energy of a fandango, a traditional community-based celebration central to the genre. With "Vientos del Mar," Los Vega takes listeners on a journey that marries the lilting melodies of the harp with the rhythmic patterns of the jarana and requinto, illustrating the coastal influences of their music. Their dedication to diversity in their approach to music is further demonstrated in "En Tonos Muy Diferentes," where they experiment with arrangements and variety in their melodies, expanding the traditional Son Jarocho soundscape. Los Vega remains a vital link in the chain of Son Jarocho's evolution, bridging the past and present with their vibrant performances and recordings.
