Over the last three decades\u00a0reguet\u00f3n, trap, bachata,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0salsa<\/em>\u00a0songs have been in the top-ten music charts of radio stations as representatives of \u201cLatino music\u201d in\u00a0 festive essence, but their popularity renders invisible a more rich cultural tradition told by political expressions of Latin American music. In this course we will explore the connections between music, history, politics, and culture in Latin America. This course will examine genres such as\u00a0merengue<\/em>,\u00a0la<\/em>\u00a0nueva canci\u00f3n, corridos, rock, tango, reggae,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0danza<\/em>, to determine the role that musicians have played in larger social narratives. We will also discuss films and texts such as\u00a0El hombre del acorde\u00f3n<\/em>, a novel by Marcio Veloz Maggiolo\u2019s,\u00a0Mart\u00edn Fierro\u00a0<\/em>by Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez, and short stories such as Ana Lydia Vega\u2019s \u201cLetra para salsa y tres soneos por encargo.\u201d Guest speakers will join our conversation, and their expertise on ethnomusicology and music production will complement our analysis. As part of their final presentations, students will create a playlist reflecting a historical period of one or more Latin American countries. They will also complete a critically engaged and civically informed (virtual) story map (similar to this<\/a> project) on the musical culture of their choice.<\/p>\n
