Sound Bridges and Percussive Dance
Join New Lots Library for a series of free outdoor events this summer!
Sound Bridges delivers high quality, fun, energetic performances that captivate and engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The repertoire of the group focuses on original pieces, which combine traditional West African music with jazz music and tap dance. The shows highlight a new and exciting blending of styles, while preserving and honoring the extraordinary traditions of various world cultures. Members span four continents, come from diverse artistic backgrounds and carry a unique passion for their craft. Through a thoughtful balance of improvisation and composition, they create fluid, cross-genre rhythmic conversations, which aim to entertain and inspire. Infectious rhythms, explosive dance movements along with sophisticated choreography and detailed compositions have defined their vibrant and powerful performances at many prestigious venues, including the Lincoln Center Outdoors and Merkin Hall, Fete de la Music at the World Trade Center, Aaron Davis Hall and others.
