Spring Concert: Pregones de mi tierra

About This Grant

On Saturday, June 9, 2018, Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle will engage the community in a positive family event using music, dance and theatre as tools to educate and empower. The event will be from 4-8pm at the Centilia Cultural Center, 1660 S. Roberto Maestas Festival Street in Seattle. The oral tradition of the pregones will be the main focus of the concert. This tradition evolved to influence art and music becoming a powerful and dynamic tool for collective resistance. Participating artists will explore the differences and similarities of the pregón in various regions of the Americas, while highlighting the contributions of the people of African descent.
