Hermanos Herrera (English: Herrera Brothers) are a musical family from Fillmore, California that specialize in Son Jarocho, Son Huasteco, and Norteño (music).
History
The band was started by the three eldest brothers in 1989 in Fillmore, California. Beginning with the Son Jarocho, the three brothers began to perform across Southern California and kicked off one of their earliest performances in 1992 when they opened up for Los Lobos at the Ventura Theatre.[1]
The band has evolved to play various styles of traditional Mexican music including Son Huasteco, Son Jarocho, and Norteño (music). They have eight recordings under the Sonbros Record label and a 2017 release under the Smithsonian Folkways record label. Their most recent album, "Ayer, Hoy, y Para Siempre" was released on July 14, 2020 and reached the Top 100 Latin Album Chart[2].
