Spotlight on Faculty: Martha Gonzalez

Martha Gonzalez, assistant professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o studies and lead singer of Grammy award-winning band Quetzal, splits her time between Los Angeles and Claremont, where she teaches courses in fandango, Chicana/o and Latina/o studies, and a section of Core III.

In a recent session of Gonzalez’ popular Fandango course, she taught the group of seven assembled students to play the eight-string jarana, the main instrument in the musical style of son jarocho.
