Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music is a multidisciplinary educational conference that explores the expression of the rich cultural traditions of African culture and European religious practices in Venezuela, particularly focusing on how music serves as a medium for spiritual, social, and cultural expression. It differentiates Afro-Venezuelan music from the broader Afro-Latin music scene in social and religious terms and disseminates the elements that converge in the sociohistorical construction of the Afro-Venezuelan vision and its impact on the Venezuelan colonial context.
The project, which includes videos, music, and dance, aims to strengthen ties between African American and Venezuelan communities and promote a dynamic cultural exchange. This educational-cultural activity is free for the general public.
Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. Read more
