About Konpa Se Nou
Konpa Se Nou is a live dance event presented at BRIC, part of its Member Nights programming. It brings Haitian konpa into a Brooklyn performance context, with contributions from Vivid Group and remarks from New York City Council Member Rita C. Joseph. The evening frames social dance as living culture rather than a sealed tradition, shaped by migration, neighborhood spaces, and public institutions. In a city that often absorbs diasporic forms without naming them, this program insists on credit and continuity.
