Crossing South of the Border:

Latin American music is the product of the mixture of three principal cultures - Native American, Spanish, and African. These influences have been combined in different ways to create new forms of music. The tri-cultural heritage of the region is reflected in its musical instruments, its rhythms, and its language. This session will provide participants an opportunity to survey the rich mosaic of both classical and folk music from Latin America.
