Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Puerto Rican band Grupo Bembé as they take us on a journey across Latin America with musical styles including bomba, plena, salsa and bachata. The band’s music is a wonderful mix of lively rhythms, catchy melodies and meaningful lyrics that reflect the island's heritage and traditions. The performance will have young and old on their feet clapping and dancing to the lively beats and melodies!

With members from countries including Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico and the United States, the group’s mission is to promote Latin music, especially that of Puerto Rico, through musical performances, workshops and other activities.
