This event will feature three pillars of the music from Puerto Rico in an unprecedented concert.
Roulé Candela on Main Street: An Afro-Caribbean and Carols Concert promises to be a musical experience that travels from our grass roots rhythms in a combination of traditional dances of Puerto Rican Bomba and the interpretation of some of the most beloved songs of Puerto Rico and the world.
On stage will be: Yoruba II led by Lydia Pérez, a nationwide renowned representative of the music and dance of Puerto Rican Bomba, with William Cepeda, an internationally renowned and Grammy Award nominee jazz musician who combines Bomba as base to his brand new style call Afro-Rican Jazz. Joining them will be International Tenor, Charlie Berrios, a native from Puerto Rico living in Holyoke, who has performed with some of the world most prestigious opera companies in Germany, Italy, and Paris, who will be performing some of the most celebrated Puerto Rican Christmas Carols.
