Caracumbe Afro-Peruvian Group--Free Music Event
Caracumbe is an Afro-Peruvian group comprised of a cast of professional dancers and musicians, many former members of the famed Peru Negro ballet. Led by percussionist and director Marcos Napa, this New York based ensemble was assembled with hopes of bringing more attention to this lesser known but notably compelling world tradition. With dances like festejo, lando and zamacueca, performed in harmony with the principal instrument of the wooden cajon, Caracumbe showcases a musical heritage of distinctive African roots found in a Peru mostly known for its Native American and European influences.
