Latin Hip Hop as a New Poetry

Catalina Maria Johnson, Ph.D., is a Chicago-based journalist and host/producer of her own radio show, Beat Latino, which airs in Chicago on Vocalo (Chicago Public Media). In this presentation, she will make a case that Latin Hip Hop is the new poetry, with a focus on Latinos in the U.S., the Americas, and Spain. The presentation, paired with slides and musical samples, will be lively, light and fun, and focused on participation, discussion, and musical enjoyment!
