About The Event
Join us at the CMA’s Community Arts Center for a free family-friendly art-making activity facilitated by artist Nebeska Aviles to create and decorate percussion instruments that can be used during a family concert led by Dr. Raquel M. Ortiz entitled “Tell Stories with the Bomba Drums.”
During this performance, which immediately follows the workshop, everyone is invited to drum, sing, and dance to yubá, cuembé, sicá, and leró Afro–Puerto Rican bomba beats. This bilingual concert is inspired by Dr. Ortiz’s book When Julia Danced Bomba (Arte Público Press, 2019), in which Julia has to dance a solo at a bombazo and she’s super nervous. Will she be able to listen to and feel the bomba beat?
