Bomba Café @ La Posada PMU

Grupo Bembé did a workshop about the history of both rythms and then entretained the audience with two performances. As part on the intermision we did an Open-Mic Poertry in which Melissa Fontañez performed one of her poems. People had a blast learning how to dance Bomba & Plena and performing poetry at the stage. Around ~90 people showed up to this event. Enjoy some pictures of the event below.
