Celebrando 2024 - SALSA & HERITAGE FESTIVAL
Madre Patria África - Boricua & West Africa cultural exchange!
June 9, 2024, 3-8pm
SEMI-FORMAL EVENT!!
Find your dancing shoes! This year's Salsa & Heritage Festival will feature a cultural exchange of West African and Afro-Puerto Rican traditions, handcraft artisans, authentic food, and Salsa dancing for all!
Our cultural exchange is significant because while Puerto Ricans proudly celebrate our Afro-Boricua traditions, many don't know a lot about our African ancestors, or the Motherland where they came from. What are the traditions that are alive in Africa today?
This festival will feature:
* Salsa Orquesta Saboré, bringing the best in classic salsa!
* Tata & Barbara Liz Cepeda, bringing Bomba Puertorriqueña with 3 generations of the Cepeda Family!
* Lannaya, West African Drum & Dance Ensemble with Masters from West Africa!
* And our Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance performing company!
The Salsa & Heritage Festival will take place at the JCC Ballroom at Shalom Austin, 7300 Hart Ln, Austin, TX 78731.
Ticket sales coming soon!
o Adults - $24 in advance / $30 day of the festival
o Children (ages 3-12) are $5.00. (Bring the kids!)
o Children 2 & under are FREE.
(There will be no extra fees to buy online!)
Invite your friends!
