Abstract | Juan David Roa moved to eastern North Carolina from Bogota, Colombia, in 2000 with his family after his parents were offered jobs with an international-teachers program. Now a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in History and Anthropology with a minor in Music. His musical interests are widespread, and he has become involved with numerous groups and bands that cater to his wide range of instruments since he has been at the university. Roa visits Colombia often, which has allowed him to stay in touch with this part of his heritage, though he moved at such a young age and completed his K-12 schooling in the United States. His time playing with Charanga Carolina at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill introduced him to various musical traditions of Latin America and the United States. |
