The institutional initiative #StayAtHome #DiscoverTheMusica joins the #VuelveALeer campaign and seeks to convert this time of quarantine into a space to learn, contemplate and appreciate cultural assets. This time, it will be music, starting with a cycle of Chilean folklore followed by Latin American music.

Continuing with its commitment to sharing knowledge that improves life, the University of La Serena launched the first of a series of audiovisual capsules on the discovery and appreciation of music, under the curatorship of academic Raul “Talo” Pinto, from the ULS Music Department.

In a series of micro videos recorded from home, Professor Pinto shares his knowledge about the musical repertoire of Chilean and Latin American folklore. This is phase 2 of the communication campaign with which the ULS shares knowledge with the community, during the health indication #StayAtHome.

The ULS communication campaign integrates educational content, health and prevention, coexistence at home, physical and emotional self-care, among many other topics, highlighting the line of content associated with providing cultural goods such as books, music, films and photographs.

Professor Pinto comments on his expectations with the project, highlighting the possibility that it will offer people to learn to appreciate the country's traditional musical repertoire: "These capsules allow people to discover and learn more about Chilean and Latin American music. "It is an opportunity for people to learn more about the country's cultural tradition, transmitted through folk music."

The capsules are disseminated in the COVID-19 section of the institutional website http://www.userena.cl/coronavirus and on the social networks of the University of La Serena: YouTube Channel (Userena Official), Facebook (@userenaoficial), Twitter (@userena) e Instagram (@userenaoficial).

These communication channels also distribute all the educational content that the university generates in its desire to share knowledge that improves people's lives.
