ZAPATEANDO is a musical project by Veronica Elton aimed at promoting the traditions of her native state of Morelos, through an electronic music reinterpretation of the music accompanying traditional dances from this mexican state. This project offers a contemporary perspective on tradition, utilizing new forms of musical production provided by technology.

The state of Morelos is known as the land of Zapata, and ZAPATEANDO provides a sonic journey through the musical traditions of this land, reinvented with various styles of electronic music, where dance or "zapateo" remains an expression of identity. The first volume of this musical project includes five tracks that are part of Morelos' cultural identity.

"El Baile de la Tetelcinga" alludes to the indigenous village of Tetelcingo. "Los Vaqueritos Groovies" revisits the dance of the "vaqueritos," which portrays life in the countryside and celebrates the importance of agriculture for the community. "Entre Moros y Cristianos" evokes the dance of the Moors and Christians, which dramatizes the confrontation between these two cultures. "La Danza de Xochipitzahuatl" refers to the eponymous dance of Nahua origin, used in various ritual contexts such as attracting rain, health, and harvests. "El Silbido del Tecuani" is a dance that represents the confrontation between man and jaguar through a dramatized story.
