| Description: | VIRTUAL COURSE. MUS-204-01D=HSP-270-01D This course surveys folk/vernacular, popular, and classical music from Latin American countries. Through the academic lens of Ethnomusicology, we will study the uses and functions of music in various Latin American societies, explore their musical practices, instruments, and performance traditions, and contextualize them with history, politics, and entertainment. As the course introduces different forms of music and how they have been combined (for example, how vernacular music is adapted into commercial popular music; and folk music becomes the basis of orchestral pieces), lectures, readings, and assignments will interrogate what defines both a Latin American musical identity and that of specific countries, specially vis-à-vis European and Anglo-American cultures. |
