The name means “pulse of life” and that is precisely what this Kingston-based collective delivers: a ceremony-celebration rooted in Son Jarocho, the four-hundred-year-old music born at the collision of African Yoruba rhythms, Andalusian melody, and indigenous voices on the Gulf Coast of Veracruz. Led by María Puente Flores and Mateo Cano, Pulso de Barro plays jarana, requinto, leona, quijada, tarima, maracas, and marimba . Every fandango they play is both a concert and a commons: it is a space where people feel how music and dance can aid in the process of collective liberation.
The performance will take place on the museum's second floor in the main atrium.
