Testimonial
"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."
Description
Enchanting rhythms and folklore enhance this richly entertaining performance with music ranging from Pre-Columbian instrumentation to Hispanic Nueva Cancion and World Fusion. Most songs are sung in Spanish with English translations. The audience will sing, clap, and dance their way on a journey through the Americas that ties to the Common Core Curriculum for Social Studies, Science, Art, and Language. Students will see and hear ethnic instruments not usually seen or heard in their everyday environment. Accompanying stories will give context to the songs and create a multi-sensory experience. If/when possible, participants will be invited to join in music making.
