History
Huapango is a whole family of Mexican styles, and its name probably comes from the Nahuatl cuauhpanco, on top of the wood: the wooden platform on which dancers pound out zapateado steps with their heels. The classic form is the son huasteco, played by a trio of violin, huapanguera and jarana huasteca. Its rhythm mixes duple and triple meters to follow the intricate footwork, and when the two singers come in with their falsetto duet, the violin drops out and the zapateado softens. Couples dance it together, and in the popular El querreque the singers trade cheeky, funny repartee. In the zona media of San Luis Potosí, Querétaro and Guanajuato, the huapango arribeño uses two violins and has singers improvising in décimas; Guillermo Velázquez is a popular name there. Up north, conjuntos norteños play it as a fast dance in 6/8 on accordion, bajo sexto, bass, drums and saxophone, while mariachi versions lean on falsetto and busy violin introductions, with famous songs such as Cucurrucucú paloma and Malagueña. The style also crossed into the concert hall: José Pablo Moncayo's 1941 orchestral Huapango is built on several Veracruz huapangos.
