We invite you to learn Bomba! The Afro-Puerto Rican music and dance inherited from our ancestors!!!
Traditional bomba involves percussion instruments, a call/response singing and dancers. The dancer makes body figures called ‘piquetes’ and the lead drummer –called the ‘primo’ or ‘subidor’– interprets them simultaneously in the drum. In these workshops you will have the opportunity to learn how to play the drums, maraca or cuás, and also to learn how to dance to the drum!
*Bomba Percussion Workshop 2:30pm to 4pm – $20 per teen & adult/$5 per child
