PROPA's 5th Annual Bomba Research Conference  (5BRC) 
Date: Friday, August 30, 2013
Location Arroyo, PR
Contact: (787) 902-3520



Research, Research and more Research

This year's conference is completely focused on sharing research and equipping attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand best practices for conducting their own research. They will also once again be able to be part of Bomba history. In 2011, which was the first time the BRC was held in Puerto Rico, we visited two historical sites in Bomba history and held Bailes de Bomba in those sites with the participation and support of family members of historic Bomba families. This year, we are working to bring you the same opportunity to be part of Bomba history. More details to come...

If you are interested in volunteering for the 5BRC, please let us know or communicate with us at 787-902-3520.

The 5BRC will take place in Puerto Rico over Labor Day weekend which this year begins on Friday, August 30, 2013.

The Annual People's Poetry In The Park / Bomba Fest & BBQ w/ Friends & Family 

Hola, mi gente!

It's that time again! Every year I host a picnic for our friends and family and just like last year, we feature LIVE ENTERTAINMENT.... Bomba y Plena drums and dance will fill the air, an Open Mic around 2 PM hosted by Nuyorican/ Capicu poet PaPo Swiggity, live painting by some of the best artists in the city and we're always surprised by what our people in the crowd offer! If you were one of the OVER 100 people that attended last year's picnic, then you KNOW it's an event you shouldn't miss...
OFF THE HOOK! Prepare to bring some food for the grill and beverages, soon we will post a list of our needs :)

* * IN ADDITION... We are celebrating a few birthdays! We will celebrate the beginning of a new year for Grito De Poetas poet Rob Vassilarakis, visual artist Mia Roman and Mimi Rivera. * *

For those of you who are not familiar with this event, please allow me to explain. During the summer many of us gather for different events, may it be poetry, party cruises, concerts, birthday parties, etc. Unfortunately for some, many of these events take place at clubs or lounges.

I've come to understand there are many people who miss out on these gatherings for the following reasons: Employment, Under 21, Unable to find a babysitter, and for many of us, our financial situation isn't so great.

My main objective: I always do this picnic on the last Saturday before classes officially resume as an End of Summer Break gathering. I do it this way to provide a neutral ground for EVERYONE to attend and enjoy. This is an awesome icebreaker as well. There is no need to "dress to impress", no pressure of "one on one' meetings, but most importantly, it's a FAMILY event. No one needs to be left behind.

This is an awesome way to meet the people you've established relationships with over time over the line but have never had the chance to meet. This is also a great way of meeting new people and creating new relationships.

It's always wonderful to share laughs, stories and great food, play games, dance, and create new stories for new memories. However, you still miss out on some of these awesome events and that's why I thought to do it different this year.

I've reached out to some of my wonderful people and they've agreed to contribute to this picnic and turn it into an extraordinary event.
