Friday was a whole vibe thanks to the incredible @blocolaconga !! They lit up the block with their performance and then turned things up a notch with a percussion workshop just for the kids …….and let me tell you, those little drummers understood the assignment! 🥁🔥 They sounded amazing, if we do say so ourselves! This programming was made possible by @bronxcouncilonthearts #ArtsonTheBlock grant #decaturblockassociation #summerinthebronx #openstreets #wedoitforthekids ##dotopenstreets #community #streetlab
These guys (@blocolaconga ) had folks moving in their seats today! Organized by @cabidnyc . Be sure to catch them as they’re not to be missed!
SWIPE for more Bloco La Conga fun!
