Last Bombazo Of The Year!


Ancestors play a cardinal role in our everyday lives. When we fail to recall these sacred ties, we lose touch with the onrushing stream of consciousness that flows through memory from generation to generation. Honoring your ancestors is the first step in reclaiming your physical and psychic wellbeing and spiritual heritage.

Come get connected to your ancestors with the oldest Puerto Rican musical tradition - Bomba.
