Latin American Music with Three Master Musicians
Let three amazing musicians, all with ties to the University of Hartford, regale you with the richness of Latin American music, from classical to contemporary to folk traditions. José Ramos Santana demonstrates how Latin and Puerto Rican composer-pianists infused European classical music in which they were trained with their own rhythms and melodies. Gonzalo Cortés explores how Andean musical traditions have influenced contemporary women composers. And Lorena Garay immerses us in the musical styles of South America and the Spanish Caribbean, exploring indigenous, Spanish (European), and African influences on Latin American music. This is a rare chance to learn the history of Latin American music with three master musicians who can bring its melodies and rhythms to life.
