"Sana Sana" Self Expression Through Song Writing explores Puerto Rican bomba as a powerful tool for songwriting and emotional expression. Rooted in tradition and shaped by lived experience, bomba invites us into rhythm, call-and-response, and storytelling as pathways to authentic creativity. No musical training is needed — just a willingness to feel the rhythm and follow what your heart dictates. Through guided rhythmic and lyrical exercises, participants will discover how emotion can lead the creative process. Whether you are a curious creative or someone simply looking for a new way to express yourself, this workshop offers a supportive space to connect with tradition, community, and your own voice. Join Bomba Marilé with visiting artist and musical teacher Karla Rivera who is visiting from California. No registration is needed.
