Experience overview
Two concerts. Two venues. One night inside Xalapa's musical world.
Spend an evening inside Xalapa’s living music scene with Miguel Eduardo Zequeira, a Cuban choral conductor, arranger, singer, teacher, and experienced tour leader now based in the city.
Begin with Veracruz coffee or a welcome cocktail and conversation overlooking Xalapa. Then follow Miguel to two local venues chosen around that night’s programming. Depending on the evening, you might hear jazz, fusion, Cuban music, trova, son jarocho, rock, cumbia, salsa, or another sound shaping the city.
Miguel adds the stories behind each venue, the artists, and the music, helping you experience Xalapa as musicians and local audiences do. Transportation between venues is included when needed.
