Las Bomberas de la Bahia
September 14, 2013 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
Las Bomberas de la Bahia was founded in November 2007, under the direction of Denise Solis and Sarazeta Ragazzi, and is one of only a handful of all-women’s Bomba ensembles to exist internationally. The group is composed of San Francisco Bay Area artists, educators, and activists dedicated to expanding the tradition of this living cultural form by highlighting the important role women play in supporting our communities while continuing the legacy of resistance that was born in the sugarcane plantations of Puerto Rico by enslaved persons.
Las Bomberas de la Bahia perform nationally for educational institutions, cultural centers, and cultural festivals and in two commissioned original works. Don’t miss the infectious Boricua music of Las Bomberas!!
