BURUNDANGA: A CARIBBEAN DIASPORA PROJECT-2014

A folkloric and traditional arts project that focuses on the Afro-Puerto Rican music traditions and Carnival of (eighteenth century) with Bomba (Pronounced Bome-Bah) and/or (twentieth century) Plena (Pronounced Play-nah).  Our activities consist of professionally-led workshops or concert for general audiences, youth, youth/student-led Bomba and Plena performances, and multi-disciplinary exhibitions/performances by accomplished musicians, performance artist, visual artist and curators. 

The project's name, Caribbean Diaspora, BURUNDANGA-2014, reflects the fact that Caribbean population movements and common historical experiences have resulted in cultural expressions that influence each other while being nationally unique but with regional commonalities.
