El Son y el Bolero Week 6 - Sep 10, 2014 7:00. La Salsa y La Timba Cubana Event Reminder: Wednesdays Aug. 6 to Sept. 10 Member Admission Just $15 per Program In working-class Afro-Latin communities, nothing surpasses music in terms of cultural expression and documentation. Self-identity, education, resistance, escapism, and the concept of our history in our own voices are all imbedded in the text and sub-text of the traditional and popular music of Afro-Latin America. In this six-week course, multi-Grammy nominee and SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director John Santos will focus on how a wide range of Cuban and Puerto Rican music addresses these issues with an emphasis on lyrical content and social context. Recorded music, slides and videos will form the foundation for the lectures with ample Q&A. The MoAD Vanguard group is pleased to present My Music is Who I Am: Identity & Resistance in Cuban and Puerto Rican Music with John Santos in partnership with SFJazz and Yerba Buena Gardens Festival.
