Kalindá: Zafra
Kalindá is a professional live music and dance ensemble that performs bomba, Puerto Rico’s oldest musical tradition. Based in Kissimmee, Florida, the ensemble has drawn audiences across central Florida to hundreds of performances marked by bomba dancing, drumming, and singing in full traditional wardrobe. At Jacob’s Pillow, the ensemble will perform Zafra: A Tribute to Afro-Puerto Rican Heritage.
Kalindá, along with its non-profit organization Escuela de Bomba y Plena Tata Cepeda, continue the legacy of the Cepeda family, a world-renowned family in Puerto Rico known for keeping bomba music alive for eight generations. The members of Kalindá are always quick to get the audience engaged with invitations to dance and sing along. The group sees their live shows as a tool to help create “camaraderie, prevention of violence, [and] peaceful creation and recreation.”
