Round Table: Conga, Bomba and Cha Cha Cha

Michelle Grant Murray's Invitation to MDC Kendall.

 

 

In celebration of October's Hispanic Heritage, the Dance program at Miami Dade College, under the leadership of Michelle Grant-Murray, invited a group of students and academics to create a round table in order to discuss, honor and recognize the contributions of the culture.  The theme of the evening was One Endless Voice: Dance Identity, Power, Politics and it involved important aspects of Caribbean dance and music such as:

• The derivatives of Cuban Cha-Cha
• Bomba as a form of identity
• Politics of teaching linage of Cha-Cha and Bomba
• Who tells the story
• How is the story told
• What is the perspective

Below are the details of the invitation:
