In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and Climate Week NYC, Battery Park City will host a special performance by Cumbia River Band, whose music draws from a festive repertoire of Colombian Cumbia and Riverside music. Their sound, featuring instruments such as the tuba, accordion, clarinet, percussion, and vocals, resembles the golden era of Cumbia, but with an American twist. Led by multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator Martin Vejarano, the band’s original compositions and cleverly arranged classics transports listeners to the captivating musical world of Cumbia River.
