Archive material and source history
Juan de La Quintana was a Mexican folk band that formed in Mexico City during the 1970s. They started as a collective of street musicians, and their song 'Cantemos' came out in 1985. The group included Juan de La Quintana on vocals and guitar, Felipe Perez on violin, Pedro Martinez on jarana, and Javier Lopez on bass.
Their music often addressed social justice themes, which sometimes drew criticism from conservative and government officials. They recorded albums like 'Sueños de Libertad' in 1990, 'Voces del Pueblo' in 1995, and 'Canciones para la Esperanza' in 2000.
Over time, they worked with other artists including Joan Baez, Mercedes Sosa, and Lila Downs. Their songs became part of Mexico's cultural landscape, known for poetic lyrics and folk melodies that resonated with many listeners.
