Imagine a different type of cultural movement with New Haven-based Movimiento Cultural Afro-Continental (MCAC), Inc., a cultural, arts and community-based organization dedicated to entertaining and educating on Puerto Rico’s rich African-based folklore, music, and dance. They especially focus on the Bomba, a style of music and dance that has its roots in the island’s legacy of African slavery, but has been converted into an ecstatic expression of Puerto Rican tradition and culture. With members that have engaged in this style of expression for decades, catching Movimiento Cultural on the mainstage is your all-inclusive ticket to an evolving art form.
