Concert | An Afro-Venezuelan Tradition of San Juan: Music and Dance

Sunday, June 23, 2024, 1:00 pm

Free

A unique celebration of the Afro-Venezuelan tradition of San Juan through a "walking procession": the collaborative ritual of dancing and singing to the beat of drums. San Juan was originally a slave celebration in the cocoa and coffee plantations in the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela, later adopted and syncretized by the Catholic church. Though it has been celebrated in Venezuela for hundreds of years and ostensibly celebrates the summer solstice and the birth of Saint John the Baptist, modern participation in San Juan often acts as a statement of self and pride in one's nationality and race. This recentering of San Juan in New York City is hosted by the Brooklyn musical collective Tambor y Ca?a with special guests San Juan USA. As the conductor and joining force between historical touchstones, national affiliation and personal identity, Tambor y Ca?a acts as a catalyst for a meaningful appreciation of and fresh engagement with Afro-Venezuelan culture.
