The Brooklyn Cumbia Festival celebrates Cumbia music from its Afro-Indigenous origins in Colombia to its modern forms across Latin America, the U.S. and beyond. The festival takes place in community gardens, public parks, and iconic NYC venues with live bands, DJs, music workshops, dancing, food, drinks, and artisanal crafts. Produced and founded in 2023 by One Whale’s Tale, a creative arts company led by Camilo Quiroz-Vázquez + Ellpetha Tsivicos.
