      Abstract

      Fandango jarocho is a festive community event including music and dancing, born out
      of the blending of cultures, with roots that run as deep as the colonial era. For the first half of the
      20th century, the continued practice of the fandango jarocho went through difficult times, and it
      was not until the eighties that a collective known as Movimiento Jaranero emerged with an interest
      in its investigation, dissemination and revitalization. The following pages detail the safeguarding
      process carried out by the mentioned collective, analyzing it as an articulation of society and state
      for the purpose of guaranteeing the fandango survival through a new generation that would take it
      over. Currently, as a result of the tension between past and present, both the fandango and the son
      jarocho (which is the musical genre that sustains the practice) have found expressions in various
      scenes, presenting variations that even encompass fusion with other musical genres.
