Sana Sana: Self Expression Through Singing and Song Writing

"Sana Sana" Self Expression Through Singing and Song Writing explores Puerto Rican bomba as a powerful tool for singing, songwriting, and emotional expression. Rooted in tradition and shaped by lived experience, bomba invites us into rhythm, call-and-response, and storytelling as pathways to authentic creativity.No musical training is needed — just a willingness to feel the rhythm and follow what your heart dictates. Through guided rhythmic and lyrical exercises, participants will discover how emotion can lead the creative process.Whether you are a curious creative or someone simply looking for a new way to express yourself, this workshop offers a supportive space to connect with tradition, community, and your own voice.
