Let’s Have a Bambula Social
DAVID RIVERA Y LA BÁMBULA live at the North Beach Social
Rooted in Puerto Rican bomba y plena, and electrified with Afro-Cuban, jazz, and global rhythms, David Rivera y la Bámbula blends tradition with a fresh, modern sound. Percussionist Rivera leads la Bámbula, driven by thunderous hand drums, call-and-response vocals, and irresistible grooves. Rivera’s leadership blends deep scholarship with raw performance power, honoring the African diaspora while pushing rhythmic boundaries forward. From festivals and concert halls to community gatherings, David Rivera y la Bámbula invite audiences to feel the heartbeat of the African Caribbean world. Opening set by Jacareo.
