Los Soneritos
Mexican folk music and dance group
Los Soneritos is a group dedicated to Mexican folk music and dance, founded in 2005 in Colima by Omar Alejandro Rojas Ramos. Rojas Ramos formed the group while working at a primary school, giving classes in music and dance. It was formed with the express intention of preserving and promoting folk music and dance to youths and children. The group mostly performs music and dance from its home state of Veracruz such as son, fandango and zapateado, but other similar music such as son from the west of Mexico and the “mitote folkorico” is also in the repertoire. Members of the group have done research about traditional music and dance as well as composed their own original pieces.
The performers in the group are young people mostly ranging from age 12 to 16 but members have been as young as seven, or older (21) . These members have included Stefany Reyes Ruiz, Luis Alberto Cisneros Beltrán, Jorge Vladimir Cisneros, Brenda Leticia García, Víctor Benjamín Angulo Cervantes, Leslie Damara Quintero López, Ninfa Fernanda Moreno Rojas and José Armando Rojas Ramos . The group plays various traditional instruments such as the violin, Mexican vihuela, jarana huasteca, requinto, quinta de golpe, marimbol, cajón, guitarrón mexicano, and jawbone and dance over a wooden stage for its sound effects. All the members of the group can play multiple instruments. Despite this versatility, Rojas Ramos says that it has been difficult to expand their repertoire due to lack of funds for traditional instruments and costumes.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Los Soneritos” as mexican folk music and dance group. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mexican folk music and dance group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6683269. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
