Heat up the Kimmel Center at this month's La NOCHE! The night kicks off with the La NOCHE Band, led by master percussionist Arturo Stable. Then, our featured guest will take the stage. This month, catch the main act, Bulla en el Barrio!
Bulla en el Barrio started in October 2014 and is currently comprised of 14 people who have been consistently meeting to learn and practice Bullerengue. The bullerengue tradition was born in Columbia in the Uraba and Caribbean region and has been a tool for women to express themselves through music and dance. For this reason, women’s leadership and their power to engage communities into creative processes characterizes bullerengue.
“What we want with our music is to share with others and ourselves, to make noise, and to recognize the role of women in our dances. Bulla en el Barrio is the noise of the people, people who can't afford to return to Colombia, but who want to connect with la tierra.”
