I have a very exciting & special concert coming up with some amazing people! Together with great friends, I have started a new group called Bambulaé Barrocá dedicated to the exploration, reconstruction, and interpretation of music from Puerto Rico and Latin America during the colonial era. This includes music from the Afro-Caribbean, like Bomba from Puerto Rico. We blend some of our rhythms brought by the slaves from the different African regions with the musical traditions found across Latin America. Our name is a tribute to our roots, invoking a reconnection with our tribe, music, and ancestors. Bambulaé Barrocá is composed of Camille Ortiz (voice), Gail Hernández Rosa (violin), Dan Turkos (bass), Víctor Pablo García-Gaetán (percussion), and Héctor Alfonso Torres-González (Guitar). Our inaugural concert is graciously hosted by Houston Early Music on April 6th, 2025 at 3pm.
