When I first arrived at the Women Who Rock conference I encountered a performance of Latin music outside, on a small stage they shared their culture with those around them and I was intrigued by the demonstration. Then I entered the cultural center to find another, different performance. There were women on stage singing and I didn’t quite hear the words but I enjoyed the melody. After they ended they asked for people to come up and to learn the song and to sing with them and I thought this was a great idea. A way for people to take a step further, not just to observe the culture but to be able to interact with it but just in the way you wanted to.
