Rhythms of the Latin World – Performance

Program Type: Performance

Rhythms of the Latin World – Performance

In this interactive lecture demonstration, students will explore the diversity of Latin America through authentic voices, dances, and music of the region. In their journey they will meet and learn from artists and educators originally from Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. The performers will share geography and interesting facts then demonstrate examples of the music and dance from a variety of Latin American countries. Students will explore the unique rhythms through traditional music, then learn how to find those same rhythms in modern, popular music. Artists will illustrate the cultural and bio-diversity as seen in the wide array of food, clothing, animals, and languages of the region. The duration and goals of the performance are customized to meet the needs of the school. The performance is available in both English and Spanish, or a combination of both. This performance is designed for groups of up to 250 students.
