Video: ‘Soundscapes of the People’ explores Pueblo’s history through music
The College of Music’s American Music Research Center (AMRC) has embarked on a research project aimed at documenting, preserving and engaging with diverse musical and cultural influences in and around Pueblo, Colorado.
Backed by a CU Boulder Research & Innovation Seed Grant and a CU Boulder Outreach Award from the Office for Outreach and Engagement, Soundscapes of the People explores ways that musical traditions have served to bridge social, ethnic, urban/rural and religious identities.
AMRC Director and Professor of Musicology Susan Thomas—who also serves as the College of Music’s Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion—and CU Boulder alumnaz, who now teaches at the ³Ô¹ÏÍø of California, Riverside, visited Pueblo last month. Watch the research team as they interview key figures representing different ethnic communities and musical practices in Pueblo.Ìý
