About Us

Charanga del Norte live at Senate House on 24 November 2018

The Latin American Music Seminar (LAMS) is a UK-based interdisciplinary forum and network for Latin American music research.  It aims to bring together scholars, students, musicians and interested members of the public to share interest, knowledge, and critical perspectives on Latin American music. The seminar takes a very open and eclectic approach to Latin American music, welcoming papers on diverse themes, genres and issues, and reflecting a multiplicity of contexts. Presenters and performers include a mix of scholars, research students, and musicians, alongside international visitors and members of the UK Latin American community.
 
Since its foundation in 2001, LAMS has met twice each year on a Saturday (usually in May and November) and typically consists of a day of five presentations with discussion, always ending with live music. This pattern was briefly disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic (with no seminars in 2020 and online meetings in 2021), but since 2022 has returned to in-person format. We are grateful to the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), within the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies, for their generous support of this seminar series.
