Bulla en el Barrio

About

Bulla en el Barrio is an NYC-born collective that shares the traditions, experiences and lives of the Colombian cantadoras from the regions of Uraba, Cordoba, Bolivar and Atlantico. The group explores this Afro-Colombian music tradition through ruedas de bullerengue, continuing a learning process that started in Barranquilla, Colombia, and was born to open a space to explore the songs and dances of these traditions at a deeper level. Its more than 12 active members share a strong sense of connection to their roots and consciousness of their ancestors. Through their participation and love, Bulla has become not only a creative space where musical ideas are shared but also a space of integration and immigrant resistance.

Press quotes

"If you see Bulla, try to sit or stand as close to the drums as you can. You will feel it in your heart. You will feel it in your soul. And when you leave, you will be a little lighter than when you arrived. This is Bullerengue."
