Due Monday July 21st (or before)

This assignment is a report on the museum exhibit, "American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music," currently showing at the Experience Music Project. The EMP is located in Seattle Center, near the base of the Space Needle. It is on 5th Avenue, near the intersection with Broad Street.

At the EMP, go to the American Sabor exhibit on the the 3rd floor, and read the introductory text on the large map at the entrance to the exhibit, with special attention to the three major themes of the exhibit:

•      How have the musical innovations of Latino youths crossed ethnic and racial boundaries and helped shape American popular music?
•      How have immigration and migration shaped Latino and U.S. popular music?
•      In what ways have Latinos musically expressed their experiences as Americans?

As you explore the exhibit displays, listening booths, and videos, make notes on some of the genres, artists, or songs that most helped you to understand these themes. For each theme, choose a song, genre, or artist that gave you special insights into that theme and explain why. Your written report should be one to two pages double spaced.
