🎉Join the LP21 family for an intergenerational Meet and Greet, welcoming the next generation of Bomba and Plena practitioners into the fold of these traditions!
📅 BPCW Meet & Greet: June 28, 2025 ⏰ 11:00AM-1:00PM 📍Location: Julia de Burgos Cultural Center - 1680 Lexington Avenue, Room 213, El Barrio, NYC 💵 Admission: FREE
This is the third event in a 3 day festival - “Entre Tambores y Tiempos” - celebrating a year of powerful community storytelling, documentation and cultural continuation.
Meet the teaching artists and learn about their project documenting Bomba and Plena in the Diaspora. As a part of the Community Collections Grant awarded through the Library of Congress, LeAna López alongside Jorge Vázquez have spent this last year gathering, documenting and honoring the voices and perspectives of the practitioners who have shaped our community and our traditions at large. Now, it’s time to share our work and give back to you!
