Bronx Rising! The Spirit of Aña: Women & Drums

Adufeiras & Batukadeiras

In honor of Women's History Month, we celebrate the traditional rhythms and sounds of the Adufeiras and Batukadeiras. The Adufe is the frame drum that is traditionally played by groups of women in the Iberian Peninsula. In this case, in the interior of Portugal. The adufeiras are the symbols of women's roles as the "messengers" of the ancestors. Batuku is a Cape Verdean rhythm also played by groups of women, which carries the rhythmic subdivisions used by the adufeiras, as well as a call & response typical to African music. Led by Catarina Dos Santos and Marcy DePina. Admission fee: $7 | $5 for students and IG residents | FREE for kids 12 and under.
