The city is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzonera and comparsa. A special kind of music called "son jarocho", a mix of Mexican folk music and Cuban son, was developed in southern Veracruz state, in and around Veracruz, Veracruz. La Bamba is the most famous example of son jarocho. An equally rich dance tradition parallels Veracruz's unique musical styles. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jarocho
