Caminando: Bompleneras & Legacy Women in Concert at Ile Oyin
On February 27th, CCCADI welcomed Bompleneras and Legacy Women to CCCADI Ilé Oyin for a celebration of the Afro-Caribbean Women who carry the drum, and with it our ancestral memory and resistance.
CCCADI’s 50-year legacy has been shaped and sustained by the vision of Black Women, from our founder Dr. Marta Moreno Vega to our leader Melody Capote, and all of the Afro-Diasporic women who’ve held positions of leadership at CCCADI since 1976.
The same lineage of leadership lives in BomPleneras, guided by Ivelisse Diaz as they celebrate their 15th anniversary, and in Legacy Women, led by Manuela Arciniegas.
