A five-hour percussion workshop on Afro-Puerto Rican bomba rhythms led by New York percussionist Preach Freedom.
Participants will learn the buleador and subidor bomba drumming styles, with a focus on repique, a drumming style with which individual drummers reproduce an individual dancer’s moves—to establish a dialogue.
There will be two breaks; food and drinks will be provided.
BRING DRUMS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
