    Senior Jordan Salama’s earliest connection to Colombia came through the piano in his living room in Pelham, New York — 2,500 miles away from the country that would fire his imagination during his time at Princeton.

    When Salama was 6 years old, his piano teacher, Sandra Muñoz, a native of Colombia, would play “these rambling, loud, energetic salsas and arabesque music during the breaks between scales and whatever piece I was painstakingly attempting to play. And our piano would come to life,” Salama said.

    This event, hosted by members of J-Lats, is part of the Spanish Tables coordinated by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. J-Lats is a student organization that, according to Abraham Waserstein and Diego Ayala-McCormick, has the purpose of exploring the intersectionality of Judaism and Latinidad in the US.

    Each year, ReachOut awards one fellowship for a domestic project and one for an international project. The latter can be performed anywhere in the world, including the United States. The international fellowship is funded through a donation by a Class of 1956 alumnus. Two ReachOut fellows are currently in the field, working in Trenton, New Jersey, and Mexico City.

    Salama will use his fellowship to produce a bilingual online video series for children and parents across the Americas, in association with Sesame Workshop.
