University Open Air: Conferencia: Mapa Sonoro de la Música Salsa en Nueva York. En Español
La lectura se realizará en español como un homenaje a todxs lxs inmigrantes afrocaribeñxs que llegaron a Nueva York en los años cuarenta y que, con su cultura y nostalgia por su tierra, crearon la música Salsa. Los participantes en esta conferencia recibirán el magazín Sursystem 08 en español, y con él podrán seguir la historia del origen de la Salsa en algunos barrios de Nueva York y ubicar los lugares más importantes en el mapa, además de escuchar la música que se hacía en esos sitios. Después de la lectura, los participantes están invitadxs al recorrido guiado que se realizará en el sur del Bronx, donde caminaran por las calles y visitarán algunos de los lugares donde nació este ritmo latino que aún hace vibrar y bailar al mundo entero.
There will be a walking tour of a few relevant sites in the Bronx on April 21st departing from the Center for Brooklyn History after a lecture in Spanish at CBH. All are welcome to attend.
