About This Event
In Live at the Gantries at Kupferberg Center for the Arts, La Cumbiamamba Ensemble brings cumbia and related Afro‑Latin dance traditions into a concert setting. The group's stage practice centers on ensemble interplay, layered percussion and call‑and‑response phrasing, privileging groove and collective timing over individual soloing.
