Join us for an electrifying evening of music, culture, and storytelling with La Manga, a Brooklyn-based collective of talented women artists. This cultural identity laboratory draws inspiration from the ancestral traditions of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, including Bullerengue, Cumbia, and Tambora. Their performances honor Black and Indigenous oral traditions, connecting audiences to the vibrant rhythms of Afro-Colombian drums—Tambor Alegre, Tambora, and Llamador—and celebrating life through storytelling and "bailes cantaos."

Praised by The New York Times as a group that expands musical lineages, La Manga has captivated audiences at venues like Joe’s Pub, MoMA PS1, and the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. Don’t miss this chance to experience their spellbinding performance live.
