Latin America through Salsa and Literature
Instructor: Allen Zegarra
Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 200-01. "Salsa music is a popular expression of the multiple realities that permeate Latin America. Salsa songs depict the histories, traditions, beliefs, expectations, achievements, frustrations, cultures, and perspectives of the peoples of Latin America. In sum, there is probably one Salsa song for every single circumstance, topic or situation that you can think of: birth, life, food, love, death, national identity, etc. The richness that Salsa offers goes far beyond the realm of music. It is an open archive that mirrors the
good, the bad, and the ugly of the Latin American world, so to speak. This course provides the students with an opportunity to get acquainted with different aspects of the social, cultural, political, and economic realities of Latin America using Salsa music as a core component. The course also incorporates a plethora of literary texts, mainly poems, short stories, and essays that either supplement or complement the themes that the selected Salsa songs deal with. The main objective of the course is to enhance students awareness of the different Latin American realities (past and present) through Salsa and literature while they improve their interpretive, presentational, and interpersonal skills in Spanish. Additionally, the course offers an opportunity for the students to get together to watch fun Salsa videos, and if watching is not enough, dance to the irresistible rhythm of Salsa music. The materials selected as well as the sources aim at covering a thematic breadth impossible to cover otherwise."
