Ther electrifying presentations have been heard throughout the United States for almost 30 years and if you are in NYC, you can enjoy them this Summer Saturday.

Retumba is a multi-ethnic, all-female Afro-Caribbean dance and percussion ensemble performing in the Parks Series.

Retumba interweaves the dynamic power of Caribbean polyrhythms with the drama and excitement of African dance. Dressed in festive, traditional garb, this seasoned ensemble celebrates traditional Caribbean culture through engaging, staged performances of folkloric music such as guaguancó from Cuba, bomba and plena from Puerto Rico, and merengue from the Dominican Republic.
