Early years and education
Early years
The Villalobos Brothers were born and raised in Xalapa, Mexico, an hour away from the port city of Veracruz. They spent their childhood listening to their grandmother, Cristina Vásquez play music for enjoyment after the work day, accompanying dancers at a country fandango, or playing for guests dining in the many coastal restaurants. The trio learned the violin at a young age, and soon learned to sing and play other instruments, including the guitar, the piano and the thin-bodied guitars by the name of jaranas. They eventually moved on to specialize in classical violin and composition, which further developed into the creation of their own style of playing, called "Fast-Chatting Violin"[1] which involves a rapid succession of notes and percussive sounds that imitate the human voice.
From 1990 to 2000 they studied classical violin with Carlos Marrufo Gurrutia,[2] and composition and counterpoint with Eugeniusz Sleziak Kandora,[3] Roberto Lira López, and Ryszard Siwy Machalica.[4][5]
The Villalobos Brothers were considered child prodigies[6] and had early soloist debuts with the Xalapa Symphony Orchestra[7] playing the Sibelius, Brahms, and Saint-Saëns violin concertos.[8] They also had solo appearances with the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru.[9][10][11]
Advanced musical studies
In 2000, the U.S. Department of State awarded the eldest brother, Ernesto Villalobos, a Fulbright Grant[12][13] to carry out graduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music,[14] where he studied with Patinka Kopec[15] and Nils Vigeland.[16] In 2001 he performed at Master Classes led by Pinchas Zukerman and Glenn Dicterow and travelled to Israel to study with Shlomo Mintz.
The middle brother, Alberto Villalobos, left Mexico in 2002 and studied violin with Igor Oistrakh at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels for three years.[17] He was later selected as a student by Pierre Boulez at the Lucerne Festival Academy in Switzerland.[18] In 2003 he performed at Master Classes led by Zakhar Bron.[19]
In 2003 the youngest brother, Luis Villalobos, moved to Germany, where he studied violin with Nicolas Chumachenco at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg.[20] He was also accepted at the prestigious Mozarteum University of Salzburg in Austria.[21]
Style and influences
Although the three Villalobos Brothers are classically trained on the violin, their music draws influence from many genres, including Son Jarocho (a musical style from their native city of Veracruz). Jarocho describes the unique style as being created by the people and culture of the southern coastal plain of Veracruz, who for more than two centuries have shaped a distinctive regional music which intertwines fundamentals of Jazz, Rock and Blues.[1]
Most of their original music features complex patterns of interwoven three-violin harmonies, intricate call-and-response arrangements and lyrical melodies carried out by one of the brothers as the other two reinforce it in counterpoint.[22]
While touring in support of their album, Ernesto Villalobos noted, "Due to our training in different parts of the world, each brother brings something unique to the table: From my years in New York and Israel my violin playing style and technique are closest to the Galamian, or American school. Alberto studied in Belgium under Igor Oistrakh, perfecting the Russian school and Luis followed the German school under Nicolas Chumachenco. But in the end these are of course only labels...We grew up together, making music together for many years in the tropics of Veracruz, Mexico"[22]
In addition, The Villalobos Brothers have created their own signature style of violin playing called "Fast-Chatting Violin"[1][23] by incorporating elements of classical music, jazz and indigenous Son Jarocho and Son Huasteco, a genre extensively researched and embraced by Alberto Villalobos.[22] In 2009 he spent a year in the Huasteca region of Veracruz recording and transcribing Sones Huastecos that have been verbally passed down for centuries from generation to generation and were in danger of being lost.

In 2009, their music was described as "High Octane Mexican Fiddling" by The New Victory Theater.[58]
