Malamanya:
Malamanya is a Midwest based band comprised of seven musicians who share a mutual respect and enthusiasm for traditional rhythms and melodies from Cuba and Latin America. Their style and sound reflects an old school Latin vibe. Their onstage energy and compositions reflect the communal, complex, and celebratory spirit prevalent in these musical genres.
Bomba Umoya:
From both sides of the Twin Cities, Bomba Umoya has been practicing traditional Puerto Rican music in the form of Bomba, a music genre that was first developed on the sugar cane and rum plantations of Puerto Rico approximately 500 years ago. Through performances, workshops, and presentations, Bomba Umoya continues to celebrate and preserve their ancestral tradition.
