SPAN 131 - (CC) Popular Music in Spanish: Audiences, Industries, Geographies

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically

In this course, students will look at popular musical genres in Latin America, Latino USA, and Spain and explore how the creation, circulation, and consumption of popular music engage with the social and the political. In order to describe and analyze the consumption of music as a complex cultural act, students will become familiar with the basic theoretical principles of the disciplines of popular culture studies and popular music studies. Musical properties of songs or genres — such as instrumentation, dynamics, and harmony. — will be approached from the perspective of the non-musician. This course, as all courses with the SPAN prefix, is taught in Spanish.
