Bomba De Aquí co-directors, Brendalíz Cepeda and Saul Peñaloza are providing a moment of cultural learning for the community.
Brendalíz, granddaughter of the great bomba performer Rafael Cepeda, and Saul will offer an all-ages, two-hour bomba workshop.
In this workshop, you will learn drumming, dancing, and song. As the lessons unfold, the artists will share their own personal experiences as well as the inextricable historical underpinnings of the forms. The workshop will offer engaging music, dance, and interactions of all ages.
Bomba de Aquí has evolved as a place where the community can come to learn and embrace powerful modes of self-expression, cultural awareness, and a sense of community, through active and dynamic participation in Bomba and Plena traditions.
