About this Event

Bomba Marilé invites you to join us for an uplifting weekend of health and wellness through bomba music and dance. We are honored to have Hector Cruz and Jannira Roman visiting us directly from Puerto Rico to share their knowledge and guidance. They are part of a group called SanArte Cultura. SanArte Cultura is a transformative healing space in Puerto Rico that integrates Bomba—a traditional Afro-Caribbean art—with meditation, drumming, coaching, mentoring, psychotherapy, and dance to foster deep healing, empowerment, and spiritual growth. Through the rhythm of Bomba, they create immersive experiences where movement, sound, and self-expression become tools for personal transformation.The entire weekend is free thanks to the financial support from Utah Division of Arts and Museums, Creative West, National Endowment for the Arts, Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts, and Parks, Salt Lake City Arts Council, and the Sorenson Unity Center.
