Bomba and the Abolition of Slavery in Puerto Rico

Join PCC and Chicago Association of Latino Princeton Alumni (ALPA) for Bomba: Rhythm, Resistance and Liberation, a 2-hour free introductory workshop in bomba percussion, dance, and history curated and presented by the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center. In this two-hour introduction, participants will learn foundational bomba rhythms, the call-and-response language between dancer and drummer, and the basics of baile de bomba – where movement leads and the drum responds. No experience necessary. Event is in connection with the Goodman Theatre’s Centennial Season 100 Free Acts of Theater.

Guests can register for free on the SRBCC website then email Danielle and Renee at danielleohamilton@gmail.com and hrperez91@yahoo.com so we know who’s coming.
