Join us for a series of events commemoration the tradition of Dia de Los Muertos, remembering and honoring those who have come before us, with ofrendas (altars), stories and musical performances. This is an opportunity to participate in a cherished tradition, preserving the heritage and significance of Dia de los Muertos. Join us as we pay tribute to this timeless Mexican celebration.
For the first day of Dia De Los Muertos and the opening of our community offrenda in the Barn Space, we will host a Fandango de Los Muertos featuring the band, Pulso de Barro.
Mexican American musicians Maria Puente Flores, Mateo Cano, Víctor Lizabeth, Oviedo Horta Jr explore the tradition of Son Jarocho as Pulso De Barro. Pulso de Barro merges poetry and music as ways of coexisting reciprocally with nature. Their band's name (and the name of their weekly radio show in Kingston) Pulso de Barro translates as “pulse of the clay” referring to a unifying earth pulse that makes the building blocks of story and culture. The musicians draw on their varied heritages (Mexican, Cuban, Venezuelan and Puerto Rican) to create a synthesis that rises above the sum of its parts. Members play Jarana and Leona (stringed instruments), quijada, cajon, maracas, and marimba (percussive instruments), dance on the Tarima (percussive platform) and sing folk and original compositions called Versadas.
