Join us for an Afro Dominican Music percussion workshop with Mitiko Mawon and members of the award-winning ensemble La Gran Mawon (The Big Maroon), an artist collective based in the Dominican Republic. Through their research and performance, the group explores Afro-Taino musical roots of the Caribbean Island of Kiskeya-Ayiti (comprised of Haiti and Dominican Republic) to recreate them in a respectful manner, while updating them with modern influences from hip-hop, reggae, rock, and ska. Space limited, so reserve your space now!

Sponsored by the Center for Latino Arts and Culture, the Department of Latino and Caribbean Studies, the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice, Global Latinx New Jersey, Insurgent Intersections: Combating Global Anti-Blackness, Department of Africana Studies, and the Rutgers Advanced Institute for Critical Caribbean Studies
