Tatewari Music

In the Indigenous Huichol language, the word Tatewari means “Grandfather Fire.” It is with pride and honour that the members of the band have adopted the name Tatewari to represent the “fire” within their own creative music.

Today the Tatewari band consists of Esau Galvan Saltos, Cruz Alberto Perez Ramirez (Mimi), Dani Marquez Ortega and Sonny Davis. These four young men have become a brotherhood of crystallized talent. Gifted musicians who enjoy a bond and synergy that is evident in their shows and live performances.

In 2006 the Tatewari journey started in the little fishing village of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit Mexico, with three of its original members, Esau, Mimi and Dani, childhood school mates, who had a dream. Their vision was to become a world class Flamenco band. In the Fall of 2011, Sonny joined forces with these “sons of La Cruz” and together they have forged a path to accomplish their goal by studying, mastering and sharing their talents and love of Flamenco music in it’s traditional renditions, as well as to creatively offer their own compositions, improvisations and interpretations of the Flamenco style of music, infused with Rhumba, Jazz and spiced with a little Mexican heat.
