Requinto Jarocho
The Requinto Jarocho has its origins in the Veracruz region of southeastern Mexico like the Huapanguera. It is played in the son Jarocho style with a harp and Jarana Jarocha. The requinto Jarocho, also referred to as a Guitarra de son, is a small guitar that has gained much popularity in recent times. The body is not large or deep like a Huapanguera but is rather thin. It has 4 thick nylon strings, sometimes 5 strings.
