Retumba
Retumba is an all-female, multicultural dance and percussion group that formed in 1981. The group has performed at Carnegie Hall (with Pete Seeger), the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Central Park’s Summerstage, and Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher and Alice Tully halls, as well as at colleges and universities throughout the tri-state area. Retumba presents folkloric music and dance of Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Brazil, highlighting the links between Caribbean music and the musical traditions of both Africa and Europe.
