Cantaré

CULTURAL PERFORMANCES FOR CHILDREN

Drawing from the musical heritage of the Caribbean, Central and South America, Cantaré performs songs in Spanish and Portuguese, while sharing the music’s cultural background. Lead by musician Cecilia Esquivel, Cantaré introduces a variety of string and percussion instruments from different Latin American countries. Audiences learn about geography and history of Latin America and about the different cultures that shaped its music – Indigenous, European and African.

In this highly interactive performance, audiences are invited to sing, play percussion and dance a basic Latin rhythm such as salsa or merengue. Performances are suitable for all ages and can be offered by a solo artist, duo, trio or quartet. Several program themes are available.

See TEACHER RESOURCES below.
