We focus primarily on on music-cultures of North, South, and Central America, and the Caribbean, examining traditional forms of music and dance associated with religion and ritual such as Afro-Cuban bata drumming, practices which fuse music and movement such as Afro-Brazilian capoeira, jazz, and popular musics such as rap.

MUAC 3536 Topics in Hindustani Music (4 credits): This course explores the melodic system (raga) and rhythmic system (tala) of Hindustani music, the classical music of North India.

Accordingly, each class incorporates hands-on music-making through singing, rhythmic exercises, and/or dance. By the end of the term, students will become familiar with several ragas and talas and the stages by which they are developed in performance. A second, equally important objective is to learn to appreciate ragas as aesthetic entities.

Must be at least junior standing or obtain instructor approval.
