We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with the release of a new video: “Butterfly Fandango” - Educational Program by Son Monarcas! Traditional music and dance from Latin America is a vibrant blend of many different cultures. Come along with the musicians and dancers of Son Monarcas as they explore the Indigenous, African, and Spanish influences on the rhythms, movement, and melodies of Latin America. The audience will enjoy the collection of songs and dances, including Aztec drum and dance, zapateado (foot tapping) from Mexico. This lively, interactive performance featuring authentic instruments and dance engages audiences of all ages with energetic renditions of traditional music, and even a familiar melody that the students and teachers will all recognize and love. The program is very participatory throughout and aims to teach about the geography, history and culture of Mexico through the arts, always ending with time for questions and answers from the audience.
