Music Map

Available for 11 days

Sara Mohr-Pietsch hits the dancefloor, exploring the world of Marquez's Danz贸n No 2. Mexican composers Juan Garc铆a de Z茅spedes and Manuel Ponce feature alongside music from Cuba - the home of the danz贸n. We also venture into music dedicated to children from Teresa Carre帽o and Shara Nova, before exploring unofficial national anthems with Heitor Villa-Lobos, Jean Sibelius, Jos茅 Pablo Moncayo and Joseph Haydn. Sara also digs into the rhythmic heartbeat of Danz贸n No 2 - the 'son clave' rhythm - which crops up everywhere from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story to the mega-hit children's TV show Bluey. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 鈥淎sk 麻豆社 Sounds to play Music Map.鈥
