ShowcaseEL Bombazo de Brooklyn
This drum and dance ensemble specializes in Bomba, Puerto Rico's oldest art form dating back to its colonial history. Bomba's musicality and aesthetics are a combination of African, Indigenous, and European elements, such as “call and response” singing and percussion, along with dances such as Paseo and Piquete. Students and staff are invited to participate as singers, dancers, and percussionists as a way of making the cultural tradition of Bomba accessible to all.
