One of my favorite things about Hispanic Heritage month is learning about other Latinx/Latino/Hispanic countries and the histories, cultures and people.

As we plan our AMIGOS HH Country celebrations, I thought I’d share twenty prompts that will get you thinking about your roots and heritage so that you can join in the celebrations and share about your country.

1. Music & Songs

Share a song that shows the typical music. What types of instruments are typically used in this music and how did they get introduced? Were they from the indigenous people? Were they brought from Africa, Spain or other countries?

2. Poetry

Is there a poem that reminds you of your patria? One of my favorite is the poem from Jose Marti, Los Zapaticos de Rosa.

3. Musician or Brand

Tell us about a famous band or musician that comes from your country. Think Celia Cruz from Cuba, Maluma from Colombia, Ricky Martin from Puerto Rico and Juan Gabriel from Mexico.
