David Garcia is a professor of music at UNC Chapel Hill specializing in the research of black and Latin music in the Americas. He is the director of UNC’s Cuban dance and salsa music ensemble, Charanga Carolina, and he has several distinguished published works relating to the origins and presence of Latin and black culture in popular music.
Eran Akyil is a resident DJ at Stillife Chapel Hill. He has been working with music professionally for two years. In some of his more recent work, he has been integrating diverse music - particularly Latin American genres such as reggaeton and dembow - into his shows. Although these rhythms are not commonly heard in UNC’s nightlife, Eran, along with multiple other local DJs, are diversifying the variety of music played in Chapel Hill.
