This class will show how much the music, history, and culture were shaped through the interaction of native civilization and the environment and the effects of successive waves of population (Natives, Europeans, Africans, Asians). The course will also examine ecologic and demographic catastrophes and economic revolution, as well as dramatic political and cultural changes that punctuated Latin America's history and shaped its music. The Native, European, and African musical inheritance and how all these elements mixed to create the Latin American folkloric, popular, and classical music are going to be studied in the appropriate social and cultural context. Multimedia resources will help to illustrate the class with examples on archeological sites, visual arts, music, and literature related with each one of the units in the course.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
