| Department: | Freshman Tutorial |
| Description: | This course explores selected songs from Latin America and the stories behind them. While students familiarize themselves with genres such as tango, pasillo, corridos, salsa, samba, Bossa Nova, Nueva Canción, mariachi, among others, this musical journey aims to provide an introductory map of the essential history and culture of the region. From the zoomorphic ocarina of the Pre-Columbian times to the many Latin American cousins of the Spanish guitar, we will examine questions on personal and cultural identity, societal and political issues, traditions, unity, loyalty, lifestyles, loneliness, joy, fear, heartbreak, friendship, and love. Prof. María Cristina Monsalve is from Quito, Ecuador and she teaches courses in Spanish language, literature, and culture. She enjoys singing and playing several string instruments such as guitar, ukelele, cuatro and charango. |
