Participants will learn about the evolution of Latin American music with Dr. Diana V. Sáez, the Director of Choral Activities at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. The music of Latin America is the product of many cultures mostly Native American, Spanish, and African. When the elements of these cultures combined, they created new forms of music such as cumbia, merengue and salsa. In this fun and interactive session, we will listen, sing, and learn some of these songs arranged for choirs of all levels.
