Rumba Super Club in association with Sound Culture launch what will be the city's only dedicated night to exploring African diasporic music in Latin America right here in Chicago. The cultural and musical influence of Africa on Latin America through colonization and slavery is undeniable. Latin America's most popular forms of music such as Salsa, Rumba, Bomba Plena, Samba, Punta Rock, Cumbia, and Son Jarocho have direct African ties and are a mixture of various cultural influences over time. Join us as we celebrate our rich cultural heritage and some of Chicago's most talented Afro Latin groups.
