We are Pulso de Barro, Pulse of Clay. The pulse is the life force – the heart beating, our breathing. The clay is where life begins and ends. Pulso de Barro is an inclusive platform where it is possible to explore music, dance, and the native traditions of the lineage that we share. Pulso de Barro is the result of syncretism between the different territories that unite us. Through creative work we seek to give space to our many identities. With a focus on traditional Son Jarocho music from Mexico, and exploration of various other genres from the Caribbean and Latin America, Pulso de Barro supports and encourages the recognition of dance, poetry and music as a vital part of the articulation of communities. We believe that the countless stories of our territories are embodied in the creative flow, and that by exploring it, we will find a place to learn and re-imagine our future.
