In this episode: HAPPY HOLIDAYS everybody! While we take a short break, we bring you stories from Vocalo Storyteller Workshop contributors and interns.
First up: Meet Alex Rojas. Our new Vocalo Storyteller. He produced a story about Los Crudos an American hardcore punk band from Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood (1991 to 1998). Being all Latinos, they paved the way for later Spanish-speaking punk bands and helped to increase the presence of Latinos in the predominantly white punk subculture.
The MusicVox intern Liz Griewe wanted to learn more about music therapy, so she visited the Institute for Therapy Through the Arts in Evanston. There, she spoke with therapist Jeffrey Wolf and a patient’s family member about music therapy and the different ways it can be used to help patients.
Lastly, our own Jesse De La Pena plugs into the mix with his DJ magic!
