INFORMATION FOR
La Cumbiamba eNeYé, an Afro-Colombian music ensemble, will perform outside on the Shea Center for Performing Arts Plaza on Monday, September 27.
The free performance is part of William Paterson University’s Latinidad Hispanic Heritage Month and explores the Colombian musical styles of cumbia, puya, and mapalé in an open-air gathering known as “cumbiambas.”
The ensemble group La Cumbiamba eNeYé was formed in 2000, brought together by a shared passion for understanding and performing African, Indigenous, and European musical culture and contributions in the Americas.
The annual Latinidad Heritage Celebration at William Paterson recognizes the contributions and history of Latinas, Latinos, and Latinx people with special events constructed by its students, faculty and staff.
Light refreshments such as empanadas, fresh fruit, and hot and cold beverages will be served for free during the event. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be held in the Shea Center Auditorium.
