This is a BIG week at IU for Folklore and Ethnomusicology! On Wednesday, February 6, our department and our student association are helping to sponsor the world-renowned Gabriel Alegria Sextet, an Afro-Peruvian jazz band. This group will be holding a jazz workshop at 5 p.m. at the Mathers Museum, 601 E. 8th Street (corner of Indiana Avenue and 8th Street); bring your instruments and join in! Then the band will be holding a FREE concert at 8 p.m. at the John Waldron Arts Center in downtown Bloomington, at 122 S. Walnut Street (corner of Walnut and 4th Street). Bring your friends!
On Friday, February 8, 6 p.m. in the Foster-Shea Lounge in Foster Quad, our own Professor Javier Leon will be holding an intradepartmental workshop and jam session, featuring the students from his F315 South American Performance and Culture class. Again, bring your instruments and learn how to play some Afro-Peruvian rhythms that will get everyone on their feet! See you there.
