With support from the California Arts Council, Ritmos will develop web based programming that will enable access to Ritmos programming using the Distance Learning model. Funding will be used to pay for performer costs, web site development, web site hosting, administrative/miscellaneous costs.
Ritmos provides a presentation that provides the historical and cultural background of Latin rhythms, explanations of instruments used in Latin music, and live demonstrations of rhythms.
Ritmos also provides the Youth Latin Percussion Program. The program not only provides students with percussion instrument instruction, but also the opportunity for developing knowledge of Latin rhythms and discussing the cultural influences of the rhythms.
