ROKA-TUMBA

Two dynamic Bronx dance forces reunite! Rokafella, co-founder of Full Circle hip-hop group, and Retumba!, an all-female Afro-Caribbean dance and percussion ensemble combine to bring you an electric evening of dance and music. ¡Retumba! (Resound!) is a multi-ethnic music and dance ensemble from Bronx, New York, founded in March of 1981 in celebration of Women’s History Month. ¡Retumba! bases its work on the music and dance of Africa and Europe and its expressions in the Americas and the Caribbean: Puerto Rico, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, and South America. ¡Retumba! brings forth the drama and excitement of world culture and traditions into a feast of folkloric music that everyone can enjoy while demonstrating the similarities and links of our shared cultures.
