Artist Sofia Maldonado is set to lead a group of local Puerto Rican artists in revitalizing the city of Caguas, Puerto Rico with their public art. The project centers on and evolves from Sofia’s piece, Kalaña, which serves as a main hub leading to all other pieces. Kalaña marks the beginning of a new stage in Sofia’s artistic expression.
Cultura Profética, Les Nubians, Kafu Banton, Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Danay Suarez and Que Bajo?! are but a few of the artists that will delight audiences with their afrolatino sounds. The third edition of the Festival is proud to showcase these artists who have shone worldwide for their talent and for exalting afrolatino culture.
The summer is here and with that three events you should check out in May.
