Drums for Descendants: Grammy Nominated Artists “Chembo” Corniel & William Cepeda introduce a Double Dose of Culture.

The thunderous power of drum beats and dance steps centuries old will resound throughout the newly renovated Aaron Davis Hall at the City College Center for the Arts connecting the Harlem community to a diverse display of African derived Puerto Rican music from the roots of its ancestors.

Master percussionist and Grammy Award nominee Wilson “Chembo” Corniel mixes Latin with jazz to Boricua bomba beats and patterns as his quintet is joined by folkloric scion and Grammy nominated trombonist, William Cepeda for an evening of homage to the Island’s descendants. Topped by a collective of young bloods of the Afro-Rican Bronx “Bomba” Collective, Nelson Matthew Gonzalez and Redobles de Cultura connect the past with the future in this not-to-be-missed musically creative celebration of Afro-Rican descendants.
