SUMMARY:Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music
DESCRIPTION:Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music\nEthnography 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.

This educational-cultural activity is free for the general public. \n“Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.” \nDate: 02/20/2025 \nTime: 7.30 p.m. \nDuration: 90 min \nPublic: General \nPlace: MATCH.
