Tlen Huicani

Tlen Huicani is a Worldwide group from Mexico, formed on September 12, 1973.

From the capital city of Veracruz, Jalapa, Tlen-Huicani (pronounced wee-KAH-ne) is one of the most faithful interpreters of the traditional folk music of that state and also that of much of Latin America. Tlen-Huicani, which means "the singers" in the indigenous Indian language of Nahuatl, has taken the beautiful "arpa jarocha" or folk harp, and has made it the centerpiece of their music. Founded in 1973, the group was named best folk group in Mexico by the union of music and theater critics. .
