BOMBA! workshops coming to the DMV areas on Sunday, February 16, 2014!
Bomba is one of the traditional musical styles of Puerto Rico. It is the mixture of the three different cultures of the Island, the Spanish, African and Taino cultures. The base rhythm is played by two or more drums. Its real meaning is about the encounter and creative relationship between dancers, percussionists, and singers. Instructor Julia Gutierrez-Rivera from NY! will be teaching a 2 hour workshop at Dance Studio Lioudmila accompanied by Cultura Plenera from MD! for all level dancers.
Description of workshops:
