MUHL 2308 “Musics of Latin America” will introduce students to the traditions, styles, and history of Latin American musics from across the Western Hemisphere, including the Caribbean (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico), Middle America (Mexico, Panama, Guatemala) and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, and Paraguay). The course will include lectures, listening, in-class activities/discussions, and quizzes and exams.
In this course, students will be encouraged to explore the range and diversity of musical idioms in Latin America, the social and cultural factors that give rise to and reveal them, and their essential figures, style characteristics, and periods. Together, we will develop listening tools and analytical skills that will enrich our understanding of Latin American music’s construction and their social and cultural roles throughout the Americas.
Class Meets Tuesdays & Thursdays 3:30-4:50 p.m.
This course satisfies three hours of the Visual and Performing Arts requirement in the Core Curriculum.
