Class Overview
Class Overview
Students learned about call and response practices in Afro-Colombian music from the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Students learned how to play body percussion while singing the song "Somos Pacifico's" chorus. Students also experimented and made music with percussion instruments including the cajon, marimba, maracas, claves, and drums. Students also had the oportunity to write new lyrics to the song and perform and record themselves singing their new lyrics and playing electronic instruments. They named their comosition: "Somos Telpochcalli."

By the end of the program all students had a chance to experiment with different ways of creating music from body percussion to playing acoustic and electronic instruments. They also participated in the process of composing, arranging, recording and editing a song. It was evident that no two students had the same aproach to the whole process. However, it was very satisfying to see how we all arrived at the final product of a recorded song, where we all came together as a class regardless of our previous experiences.
