About The Event
La Sonora & Le Mondo present LA MANGA
From the coasts of Colombia to the heart of Baltimore — La Manga (@lamangabk) is all-woman Brooklyn-based collective playing music rooted in the ancestral traditions of Bullerengue, Cumbia, and Tambora. Honoring Black and Indigenous oral traditions, La Manga channels the pulse of Afro-Colombian drums—Tambor Alegre, Tambora, and Llamador—and celebrates life through the sacred art of bailes cantaos.
Founded by Daniela Serna, Andrea Chavarro, Katherine Ocampo, and Lina Fernanda Silva, La Manga uses percussion as a portal to connect universes and create community. The collective has been featured in the New York Times and on NYC stages including Joe ́s Pub, Nublu, Moma PS1, Museum of the City of New York, Museum at Eldridge Street, Queens Theater, Bronx Music Heritage Center, Brooklyn Conservatory of Music and Arrebato Queer Party.
LA MANGA will be joined tonight by Baltimore-based KONJUR COLLECTIVE (Jamal Moore, Bashi Rose, Show Azar) and a tattoo pop-up from OJOS MAGNIFICOS.
