Zafra: A Tribute to Afro-Puerto Rican Heritage is a musical production presented by Escuela de Bomba y Plena Tata Cepeda that celebrates Puerto Rico’s cultural legacy through Bomba and Plena, the island’s oldest music and dance traditions. Featuring over 40 multi-generational performers, the production weaves original choreography, live music, spoken word and multimedia projections to transport audiences through Puerto Rico’s history—from the colonial sugarcane fields to the contemporary reawakening of Afro-Puerto Rican identity. Zafra honors the legacy of the historic 1983 production "Fusión," created by the legendary Cepeda Family of Puerto Rico. -----
The Cepeda Family is the premier institution that has been promoting and taking Bomba and Plena to different parts of the world for 8 uninterrupted generations.
Don Rafael Cepeda, musician, folklorist and composer who took our Bomba Puertorriqueña to different countries and was awarded the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship has left the legacy of culture, to his entire family, which they continue to fulfill to this day.
