Historical NoteReturn to Top

"Marisol has a PhD in ethnomusicology, but her first education came from a childhood in her native Puerto Rico, where she was soaked in music. 'I studied music academically, but the way I learned music - who sings well, what had a good rhythm - was sitting down and listening with my dad.' She also credits her mother, Juanita Miranda-Berrios. 'She is the encyclopedia. She knows everything about Latin rhythm and dance.' Marisol teaches in layers, one rhythm at a time. She recently completed a residency at Alki Elementary School, teaching Latin rhythms to 120 fourth and fifth graders, which culminated in a concert...As co-curator of the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit American Sabor, Marisol developed, in collaboration with Shannon Dudley and Michelle Habell-Pallán, a classroom curriculum, educator resources, and guided listening programs. The exhibit highlights the contributions of Latinos to popular music in the United States since World War II."
