Celebrating Latin-American Music and Literature
This event brings together poetry and music from across Latin America and the Caribbean. It is a collaboration between the Spanish program and the School of Music. Spanish graduate student Richland Antiri and Professor Jorge Camacho will read poems by enslaved people in Cuba. Music graduate student Heidy Rodriguez Delgado will read poems by Alfonsina Storni, then perform Latin American- inspired music with The Collective, a chamber ensemble that promotes community engagement and outreach.
The Afro-descendant poems come from Professor Camacho’s latest book, Breve antología de la poesía afrodescendiente en Cuba (1839-1886), which gathers previously unknown poems by enslaved Black people in nineteenth-century Cuba.
The Spanish Program will provide the refreshment. It is free!
Location: Gambrell 429.
