Join Art Start and our friends at Bembé Drum & Dance at the Bembé dance studio for a night of Afro-Latino drumming and dancing! Experience the movement, garments, sounds, and rhythm steeped in generations of Afro-Latino tradition.
Bembé is a community-based, cultural arts organization that inspires intergenerational connection, community, and cultural identity exploration through Afro-Latino musical culture. Established in 2015 by a school parent seeking more arts education that centered the African cultural lineage of Latinos, Bembé was created with local educators and artists to bring Afro-Latino musical traditions to youth, families and the greater community where it can serve as part of daily life. Since its inception, Bembé has developed multiple year-round school-based programs, a public academy, culturally competent music-as-therapy, study abroad opportunities, artist residences for cultural masters, and free public events for an inclusive, multi-ethnic and intergenerational community.
