Performance
Event poster titled "The Pulse of Latin America: Interactive Workshops and Performances." The text is centered in a large yellow circle against a light blue sky and grassy horizon. A vibrant red macaw flies in the upper right, and a blue and yellow macaw perches on a branch to the left. The bottom features a row of logos, including UMass Amherst’s College of Humanities & Fine Arts and Equity & Inclusion, and the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies.

We would love for you to join us to explore the vibrant musical traditions of Latin America. These sessions are hands-on, welcoming to all levels, and designed to bring people together through rhythm, movement, and community.

Our journey begins on April 1st, guided by Dan Neville and Armando Quiñones who will showcase and teach Currulao, Juga, & Aguabajo from the Pacific coast of Colombia.

Julian Gerstin will join us on April 2nd to take a tour of Brazil with Samba, Baião, and other rhythms of the African diaspora.

April 3rd brings us to our third and final destination, Puerto Rico, where Grammy Award winner Eguie Castrillo will lead an immersive workshop in Bomba and Plena.
