Workshop encompassed in the 36^th Summer University of Gandia

Overview:

This course was born to raise awareness on the fight of black creole people, who is searching for his own reaffirmation, in a completely hostile geographic and cultural context. A historiographical and musical perspective based on Jazz will be used to address the issue. By means of illustrative exhibitions and having as a guiding thread the hearings and contextualized viewing of jazz, we will understand, analyse and debate about the human rights of the black folk.
