La Manga is a Brooklynbased cultural identity laboratory inspired by the spirit of the modern and ancestral people of the Colombian Caribbean coast. This collective of women artists works to foster a creative community that accesses the AfroColombian tradition by drumming as a lifeline to connect diverse cultures. In performance, the group honors Black and indigenous oral traditions by engaging the power of AfroColombian percussion, including tambor alegre, tambor llamador, tambora y maracas, and celebrating life through storytelling, dance, and song.

This program was part of The Arts Center at Duck Creek’s Community Outreach Program, made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature
