Participants will also learn to sing traditional songs from the Afro-Peruvian repertoire, which reveals so much about this unique culture. Finally, through this immersive experience, participants will also become aware of how the cajón is an instrument with deep roots in the African Diaspora, not just in Peru but in other countries of the Americas, like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and even the United States.
