Madrid (Professor, Cornell University), and Eduardo Herrera (Assistant Professor, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey), also present at the event, as well as a number of contributors who will be in town attending the national meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology.
After the presentation, please join us for a reception afterwards, sponsored by the Latin American and Iberian Institute.
