Retumba

¡Retumba! is a multi-ethnic all-female music and dance ensemble found- ed in March 1981 in celebration of Women’s History Month. Interweaving traditional rhythms, beautiful ancient melodies, with its very own unique interpretation, ¡Retumba! bases its work on the music and dance of Africa, Europe, and its expressions in the Americas and the Caribbean: Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. ¡Retumba! has performed throughout New York City as well as museums, community and senior centers around the United States. ¡Retumba! has an Arts-in-Education component that offers presentations, lecture demonstrations and dance, music and percussion workshops for family events, schools, colleges and universities.
