Radio Jarocho and Zenen Zeferino to close ‘Summer Concerts on the Hudson’

WEEHAWKEN – “Summer Concerts on The Hudson,” the free concert series from the Hudson River Performing Arts Center, presents Radio Jarocho and Zenen Zeferino, on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. at Lincoln Harbor Park, located just north of the Chart House restaurant directly on the west bank of the Hudson River in Weehawken, New Jersey. This is a makeup date from a postponement earlier this summer.
Radio Jarocho has been mixing the rowdy, upbeat, and at times poignant music of the countryside of Veracruz, Mexico, with the sounds of New York’s urban life for over ten years. Having recently joined forces with Son Jarocho legend Zenen Zeferino, the band delivers performances that are passionate, energetic, and authentic. Radio Jarocho and Zenen Zeferino have played concerts at festivals and venues on the East coast, including the Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Bowl, Joe’s Pub, La Casita at Lincoln Center, Le Poisson Rouge, Celebrate Mexico Now! and Celebrate Brooklyn. They recently released “Rios de Norte y Sur,” their first studio production together. With this album, Radio Jarocho and Zenen Zeferino celebrate the music that unites Veracruz and New York, Mexico and the United States. It offers original songs and new arrangements for old Jarocho tunes, creating a modern take on a traditional genre by fusing it with sounds that have become part of New York City’s musical fabric — flamenco, cumbia, rock, baroque, and jazz.
Free parking is available and public transportation, including NJ Transit bus No. 158 from the Port Authority and Light Rail to Lincoln Harbor will bring concertgoers to Lincoln Harbor.
