One of America’s historic strengths have been our ability to incorporate aspects from many different cultures to create a stronger whole. Our music, art, literature, language, architecture, food, fashion and more have all benefitted. I have chosen three key principles (to do them all would be a dissertation for me) and combined them with an art focus so as to show the importance and powerful role the arts can have in effective leadership and empowering the body of an organization. Again, in a world that has become increasingly Global, we can no longer deny the presence of ‘the other’ and their importance in our communities. Especially those within and around our faith communities.

Hispanic’s music had a great impact in USA. Nowadays, Americans listen to Hispanics’ music. Hispanics’ music now is part of American’s culture. These changes in USA began around of 19th century, when Hispanics immigration increases in the USA. One of the big changes in music occurred around 1940s, when Americans began to recognize the efforts of Cuban-American musicians. One of the Cuban bands was Cugat.

First there are different kinds of music that can be considered Puerto Rican.

Imagine that today is the biggest day of your life. The career you have been so desperately trying to make a name for yourself in is finally giving you a window opprotunity. You're thrilled, because you know that this could be the biggest day of your life. Suddenly you get a call from your boyfriend asking you to come over. You of course do because you know he wouldn’t call you for no good reason. You go to his house, you argue, things escalate,and suddenly everything is black.

Misty Copeland was coming up in the dance world. She was viewed as a celebrity by being cover of the Time Magazine and being noticed on social media. Misty Copeland was promoted to principle dancer at the American ballet theatre. How she got there is the question some ask. One cause that led to this is the hard work and dedication that she put in. The more effort the better the outcome. Another cause was the faith and belief that she had within herself. Last, the example by the people before her.

All of Cuba’s music ties to its history. A famous Cuban type of music is Son. Son is a major genre of Cuban music, and has helped lay the foundation for most of what is to come after. It arose in the eastern part of the island, among Spanish-descended farmers. Another type of music in Cuba is Rumba. It originated in the northern regions of Cuba, mainly in urban Havana.

Tito Puente, the Jazz musician, composer, arranger and cultural icon, is known, variously as “king of timbales and mambo”, “sultan of salsa”, and most famously as El Ray - the King - of Latin Music. His Latin identity is often emphasized in a way that is somewhat unusual for Jazz musicians. Indeed, Ella Fitzgerald, or more recently, Diana Krall, do not have their cultural backgrounds so heavily stressed. Perhaps the emphasis on culture stems from the fact that Puente is Latin Music’s most prominent Jazz musician. “Perhaps it stems from more complex issues of nationalism and music culture, as Steven Loza suggests in his fascinating study, Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music. Nevertheless, a close look at Puente’s background,

Coming into this event setting was confusing, set up inside in the cafeteria in a small section towards the front made it confusing for those of us who have never been in the cafeteria. The setting alone seems extremely unordinary for a Belly Dancer’s venue as most of her body that should be covered in cafeteria are such as her arm pits and her exposed feet. Her intricate body movements mirror that of the musical instruments and beats to the song as she swings her hips from side to side. Her introduction of the prop used which is a sword seemed unique, twirling around in circles that makes it flow in with her choreography. Going so far as to balance the sword on her head and gripping it with her teeth which takes a lot of skill to do. Watching the rhythm of her body in sync with the music shows how much exercise in involved as we can see her stomach muscles flexing and expanding as if she is doing crunches.

The Dancer Parache is a beautiful bust watercolor painting by José Tapiró y Baró. It showcases a profile of a dark-skinned man in a headdress made of fabric and clams. The detail in the face and the shading really bring the painting to life. José Tapiró y Baró was deeply interested in other cultures and spent a few years in North Africa painting and exploring his surroundings, before officially settling down in Tangier. The beauty he found in Tangier and Morocco is clearly seen in this painting and in all of his other beautiful paintings too. He was not afraid or deterred to paint a culture completely different from his own and he captures it so well it takes my breath away. The Dancer Parache is a great piece of artwork that displays an exquisite

Have you ever listened to music that makes you reminisce? Perhaps is is from the first boy band you listened to in middle school, or the old school R&B or Soul that your father and mother listened to when you were a kid. For me, I draw the most happiness from the Caribbean music, namely reggae, soca music, and my favorite, calypso. All of these genres for me, seem as though they take the most quintessential parts of living a happy simple life in the Caribbean and present it to make time at the moment seem perfect, in one word. Steel pan music, which draws its roots from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, draws together the experiences and emotions of all of these music categories, making it one of the most enjoyable forms of music for
