is thrilled to announce our 2019 Fall Speaking Tour, "An Economy Under 
Siege: Building Socialism and Solidarity with Cuba Today," featuring 
Cuban economist Dr. Jourdy James Heredia, subdirector of the Global 
Economy Research Center (CIEM) in Havana.

On this national tour, Dr. James will speak about the current economic 
situation in Cuba; historical and contemporary impacts of the economic, 
commercial and financial blockade imposed by the government of the 
United States on Cuba; advances Cuba has made in food security, 
understood in a comparative and contextualized lens; and ongoing 
challenges in the construction of Cuban socialism given perennially 
hostile external circumstances.

*Síntesis *is one of the emblematic ensembles of contemporary Cuban

among the most recognized and popular musical groups of the island. 
Sintesis' albums ANCESTROS I, II and III are part of the Cuban 
rock-fusion classics.

*Síntesis *will be sharing with the students their creative process to 
fuse and integrate Afro-Cuban musical traditions with various styles of 
music including Jazz, Funk, R&B, Rock and other music genres. This will 
be a unique opportunity for the students interested in music making and 
production to learn from one of Cuba's leading group working within this 
musical boundaries.

This Music Workshop will be held in Spanish with consecutive translation 
and moderated by Yosvany Terry, Senior Lecturer on Music and Director of 
Harvard Jazz Bands

/Presented in collaboration with ALARI and Instituto Cervantes at 
Harvard University/
