BOMBAntillana proudly presents our next monthly Birthday Bombazo! We are celebrating 9 years of existence! If November is your birthday month too, make this one of your birthday celebrations. We will have a special birthday cake, snacks and great vibes.

BOMBAntillana’s Monthly Birthday Bombazos are intergenerational cultural arts gatherings rooted in Bomba, an Afro–Indigenous Puerto Rican folkloric tradition. At our Bombazos we celebrate life, ancestry, and collective joy through participatory music, movement, and shared ritual.

For over 400 years in Borikén (Puerto Rico), Bomba has functioned as a tool for healing, resistance, storytelling, and community connection. Historically, Bomba gatherings marked important communal milestones—births, birthdays, marriages, rites of passage, labor, and mourning—creating space to affirm life and strengthen bonds. This birthday-themed gathering draws from that lineage while offering a contemporary, culturally affirming space for Boston’s diverse communities to experience a Bombazo. Come sing, dance and play with us!
