Sample the sizzling sights, sounds and celebrations of Latin America in this upbeat and scenic tour across the region. It’s a party atmosphere as Tahino introduces students to the food, customs and music associated with holidays such as Mexico’s Independence Day and Carnival in Brazil. Teachers and students will join the trio on traditional instruments while the rest of the audience succumbs to the “gotta dance” beat of the cha cha, cumbia, merengue, salsa, samba, reggae, tango and reggaeton.
Tahino
Tahino was founded in 1992 to teach children in Atlanta about the wonderful music and culture of Latin America.
Members Otto Rondon, Mario Luque, and Gustavo Arenas were born in Merida, Venezuela, Mexico City, Mexico, and Girardot, Colombia respectively, and offer a taste of Latin America as they take students on a musical journey featuring contemporary Latin music.
Tahino has been honored for their amazing performances with awards such as Certificate of Appreciation by Georgia State University, Cousins Middle School Certificate of Appreciation, and Salute of Tahino from Georgia Governor Harris and Senate Committee Chair Greene.
The trio will describe how African music, brought to Latin America by slaves, was interwoven with Spanish and French influences to create the complex rhythms of today.
