GORHAM — The University of Southern Maine School of Music will present an Afro-Cuban music residency Oct. 15-19 that will include a concert, workshops, rehearsals and a concert/demonstration, all on the University of Southern Maine campus.
Events open to the public include the following:
2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16: a workshop on Afro-Cuban musical styles in Corthell Concert Hall, free
8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16: Un Mondo in concert in Corthell Concert Hall, $15/$10/$5
2 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19: Latin dance concert/demonstration in Theatre’s Russell Hall, free
The concert performance by Un Mondo will feature music in several styles: American jazz, South African jazz, Latin jazz and traditional Cuban Son style. (Son is a vocal style of folk music that is Afro-Cuban in heritage, predating salsa, that has been popularized in recent years by the Buena Vista Social Club.) The program will include original music from all band members; and the resulting fusion of styles will be a blend of different sounds from around the world.
Un Mondo (or One World) consists of six musicians from South Africa, Ecuador, Chile and the United States.
