¡Retumba! is a multi-ethnic all-female music and dance
ensemble founded in March 1981 in celebration of Women's
History month. Interweaving traditional rhythms, beautiful
ancient melodies, with its very own unique interpretation,
¡Retumba! bases its work on the music and dance of Africa,
Europe, and its expressions in the Americas and the
Caribbean -Puerto Rico, Cuba, The Dominican Republic,
Haiti, and Brazil.
¡Retumba! emphasizes the particular strengths and
sensitivities of diverse women working together in
celebration, demonstrating the similarities and links of our
shared cultures. ¡Retumba! brings forth the drama and
excitement of world culture and traditions into a feast of
folkloric music that can be enjoyed by everyone.
