Enrique:
This will be a combination of playing music (YouTube links), a commentary by me and an invitation to discuss (you are welcome to join me the podium for comments -- this is intended to be a time for enjoyment), and some Power Point slides to help organize the material.
What might be of particular interest to the students is that I've included one of the songs by Ramon 'Chunky' Sanchez with his San Diego corrido based on the Mexican one Valentin de la Sierra. This is from an article I wrote that included an interview with Ramon. The idea is to show San Diego connections to the broader and very varied experience of Latin America.
Some of the other artists preented will include Caridad de la Luz (NuyoRican), Celia Cruz (Cuban-American), Celina Y Reutilio (Afro-Cuban), Gotan Project (Argentina tango), an excerpt from a video on candomble (Brazil - religious - santeria), a Yaqui deer dance . . . and a question about what is 'Latin' and what is 'America' in 'Latin America.'
I will invite those present to dialogue with each other and to offer comments.
Hopefully, it will make what we do as instructors a time for students to enjoy and get engaged.
Please join me,
Thank you,
Joeac
