From the stigma of prejudice to an emblem of the Latino community

South High Community School

An educational presentation we did together with @cojuelos_productions @rubiera00 , Dominican anthropologist @leonardoninr and @tumbaolatindance on the history and evolution of Bachata music, a genre that went from stigma and stereotype to one of the anthems of the Latino immigrants in the United States.
The students of South High in Worcester learned about the many different influences of the music, its evolution, musicality and dancing changes because of immigrations and crossover.
The project was funded by @masshumanities
