LAURA LEÓN

SOUL

This workshop is an immersive journey into the essence of Soul music, tracing its roots from the powerful fusion of blues and gospel. More than just a genre, Soul served as a critical voice for social expression, evolving from love songs to songs of protest. We will study seminal figures like Sam Cooke, alongside influential artists like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

You will explore the genre’s defining characteristics: a deep, elaborate vocal technique rich with nuances like vibrato and belting, as well as expressive performance elements like rhythmic hand claps and body movements. Join us to experience this music, often described as the sound that fills you with joy and revives your SOUL.
