Join an immersive journey through sound with "The Beat is the History," a workshop series that brings rich, polyrhythmic beats of the Americas to life. Presented by the Hispanic Resource Center.

Our program delves into the vibrant confluence of the African diaspora, geography and human expression that defines the music of the Americas.

Workshop Highlights:

  • The Polyrhythmic Beat: Explore the deep connections between the rhythms of the African diaspora and the heartbeat of American music.
  • Shaken and Stirred: Uncover the dynamic fusion of African, European and Indigenous influences that have shaped the musical landscape.
  • Music of the Americas: Experience the evolution of new music from a new world, born from a diverse cultural tapestry.

What to Expect:

  • Engaging Lectures: Learn from experts about the historical and cultural contexts that shaped the music we love today.
  • Musical Sampling: Listen to a curated selection of tracks that illustrate the themes discussed.
  • Hands-on Activities: Participate in an interactive session where you can try your hand at creating polyrhythmic beats using a limited set of provided instruments.
  • Instrument Exhibit: Immerse yourself in the touch, feel and sound of over 30 vintage and contemporary musical instruments integral to the music of the Americas.

Join us for an unforgettable workshop where history and music come alive. Let the beat of the past inspire your present and shape your future.
