In Situ: BombaYo
Tickets
About this Event
Saturday, April 9th 7pm
BombaYo ignites the ancestral rhythms of Bomba, a drum and dance tradition rooted in Puerto Rico’s African heritage. The synergy of call and response singing, drumming and dance fuel the dynamic interplay between a solo drummer and dancer.
BombaYo creates an intergenerational experience that honors people of all ages and abilities. In the spirit of Sankofa, looking to the past for a better future, BombaYo members draw from the bomba tradition to enrich their lives and embrace their cultural legacy. BombaYo uplifts and invites audiences to celebrate the bonds that unite us through music and dance.
