The United States of America has undoubtedly been  the force behind the English language becoming the world´s "lingua franca" during the twentieth century. When you add the emergence of rock and roll in the fifties inspired by The Blues, Gospel and Country music and  the huge number of fantastic rock and pop artists that have appeared since then... a voyage through songs to discover the "all- American" soul is a fascinating prospect.

This concert journeys from East to West and North to South  across vast distances to delve into the idiosyncracies of the U.S. 

 Down south in Louisiana we´ll join Chuck Berry (You never can tell) while in New York the Mamas and Papas are California Dreaming.  The Beach Boys take us to sunny easy living  (California girls) which lies in stark contrast to   the romantic idea of the cowboy and rebel  in the song by  Christopher Cross  (Ride like the wind).  John Mellencamp´s "Small town" takes us to another side of U.S. reality and we´ll listen to Lana del Rey reflect on the U.S. gun culture in her sad  "Looking for America".  Naturally  we'll find  time to sample an Elvis Presley hit, and a folk-country classic by John Denver,  "Country roads" .

 A minimum level of  A2 -B1  English is required.

For secondary school  some different songs are included such as Flowers by Miley Cyrus or  Estelle´s (feat:Kanye West) "American boy".
