Latino Celebration 2017 - Gran Fiesta Jíbara - Newark Public Library

Latino Celebration 2017 – Gran Fiesta Jíbara

Saturday, September 30, 2017
2:00 – 3:30 pm
Centennial Hall, Main Library
5 Washington Street, Newark

Spanish settlers who made their livelihood through the cultivation of small plantations in the highlands of Puerto Rico are known as “jíbaros” or country folk. Jíbaro music has its roots in the musical forms that came to the island from Spain during the time of colonization and settlement. In it you can hear the influence of eight centuries of Arab domination in Spain, as well as the legacy of the Taíno, the island’s native people. Rubén Figueroa and Conjunto Ritmo Tropical bring an “orquesta jíbara” to the Library this fall. Bring your family, your maracas, güiros, and bongos, and enjoy a gran fiesta jíbara.
