Roberto Cepeda & Bomba Ache

Considered to be the best Bomba dancer in the world; Cepeda will lead some of the top artists in the age-old Afro-Puerto Rican music and dance traditions of Bomba and Plena. Roberto Cepeda belongs to the world-renowned Puerto Rican folklore institution, La Familia Cepeda. His father, Don Rafael Cepeda and his mother Doa Caridad Brenes were the pioneers who took Bomba and Plena from Puerto Rico onto stages and theatres all over the world. Born in 1952, Roberto Cepeda works hard to carry on the tradition of this great art form. He performs extensively with his group, offering master classes and workshops on drumming and dancing, as well as performing with leading Puerto Rican artists. His group Bomba Ashe joins the talents of outstanding musicians and dancers, including the internationally-acclaimed percussionist Anthony Carrillo.
