Sounds of Resistance: An Overview of the Evolution of Puerto Rican Music
Lecture with Q & A by John Santos
Bomba Lab | April 21, 2023 | 7:00 PM
4048 W. Armitage Ave. | Free
For most outsiders, Puerto Rico is a vacation destination. But Puerto Rico’s brutal colonial experience has shaped her musical expression over the centuries. This lecture will focus on how traditional and contemporary forms have provided a platform for creative expression and resistance to all forms of oppression. Video and audio recordings and slides from Mr. Santos’ collection will provide a snapshot of a complex and profound musical history. Mr. Santos is the subject of the documentary Santos — Skin to Skin.
Presented in partnership with the International Latino Cultural Center and the Chicago Latino Film Festival.
Part of SRBCC’s Bomba Lab Series.
