My New Neighborhood | Musical Meanderings
https://musicalmeanderingsdr.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/my-new-neighborhood
I’ve made a move to Santo Domingo – the capital and cultural capital of the country and the place that I need to be to finish my research over the next two months. Though I was sad to say goodbye to my students, neighbors, friends, and colleagues in Cabarete, I am excited to finally live in. So I’ve decided to give you a tour, via photos. Let’s start in my bedroom, which I’ve converted into an office, complete with a desk and a piano – the perfect place to finish up my research! On the same block I live ...

My walk home from work | Musical Meanderings
https://musicalmeanderingsdr.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/my-walk-home-from-work
My walk home from work. When I arrived in July, the sights, sounds and smells on my 15 minute walk home from work were strange and unfamiliar. Now, they have become a part of my daily life, and I recently captured some scenes from this walk to share with you. Bachata House – if you look closely enough you can see some students practicing percussion on the front porch. Get your fridge, fan or washing machine repaired here. Second-hand shopping, anyone? Playing dominoes is a favorite Dominican pass-time.

Soundtrack: Three Weeks in Cuba | Musical Meanderings
https://musicalmeanderingsdr.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/soundtrack-three-weeks-in-cuba
Soundtrack: Three Weeks in Cuba. The focus of my three week trip to Cuba was music, and I managed to go to at least one concert per day, and oftentimes two or three. While I originally planned to focus on jazz, I quickly expanded in order to experience all genres of Cuban music and get general view of Cuban culture. In Havana, I attended five jazz concerts, two rumba concerts, a. Festival, a rap performance, two. Drum lesson, explored the art museums, went to a comedy show, and saw a Cuban movie. This ba...

Three Weeks in Cuba | Musical Meanderings
https://musicalmeanderingsdr.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/three-weeks-in-cuba
Three Weeks in Cuba. There’s something magical about Cuba. Something that makes me sway my hips at the first sound of salsa, even though I’m generally a reluctant dancer. Something that makes me want to join a salsa band and give up playing all other genres of music. Something that makes me smile when I think about evenings wandering the. The long oceanside road that is usually full of people hanging out and enjoying the ocean breeze. For a soundtrack to my trip, check out this post and youtube playlist.
