Emerging from sabbatical at the end of 2019, Mexican singer and songwriter Natalia Lafourcade and friends performed a benefit concert for the restoration of Centro de Documentación del Son Jarocho (CDSJ) a musical and arts space in Jáltipan, Veracruz founded by Ricardo Perry and the band Los Cojolites.
The CDSJ also serves as a repository for information about the area's native son-Jarocho musical style, which fuses the traditions of pre-Columbian regional cultures with the diasporic son of Spain and Africa.
Damaged during Mexico's 5.4 earthquake in 2017, Lafourcade performed a three-hour sold-out concert in November 2019 that featured Jorge Drexler, Mon Laferte, Carlos Rivera, Pepe Aguilar, Los Cojolites, Café Tacuba, Panteón Rococó, Emmanuel del Real, and others.
