Latin/Afro-Cuban Styles

ENLT-220
In the Latin/Afro-Cuban Styles ensemble, students will learn and apply instrument-appropriate roles to perform popular music from Cuba and Brazil. Through participation in weekly supervised rehearsals, students will gain experience in performing styles such as son, descarga, cha-cha, mambo, danzón, songo, and bembé from Cuba, as well as bossa nova, samba, and partido alto from Brazil. Emphasis will be given to stylistic integrity, as well as melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic accuracy.
