> In contrast to the American ‘One Drop Theory,’ of African racial
> classification, in Latin America there are various names for differing
> degrees of Blackness such as prieto, negro, mestizo, mulato, trigueño,
> or jabao. In general the term ‘Afro’ declaring race has been uniquely
> hyphenated with nationhood, such as Afro-American, Afro-Cuban or
> Afro-Brazilian.
>
> “Ritmos Unidos” celebrates the hyphen by bringing together Twin
> Cities’ artists whose musical repertoires are native to Minneapolis
> and St. Paul, yet speak to their national and racial afro-diasporic
> legacies.
