From Andean folk to Mexican baroque, Chapel Hill will vibrate with the sounds of Latin America this weekend at a conference hosted by the UNC-CH Department of Music. The conference will showcase the wide variety of musical styles that immigrants from Latin America have contributed to North Carolina’s cultural landscape. Host Frank Stasio discusses why music is an important currency in this cultural exchange with David Garcia, assistant professor of music, and Maria DeGuzman, director of Latina/o Studies.
