Auditorium, Library Plaza

A Latin American Heritage Celebration Program

Viva Vallenato! Cumbia Band electrifies crowds with the folkloric music of Colombia. Lead singer-percussionist Hugo Lascarro Sr. hails from Barranquilla, Colombia where he performed for many years. His son Hugo Jr. sings and plays traditional handmade drums, the caja vallenata and tambora costeña. Bassist-singer Jose Borney hails from richly musical Tolima, Colombia. New Jersey native Accordionist Phil “Felipe” “Caballo” Passantino formed the band after falling in love with vallenato music, the local storytelling songs of Colombia’s Atlantic coast, sung over shimmering accordions and pulsating rhythms; and Colombian cumbia, a hypnotic courtship dance created in cultural exchange between indigenous cultures and Africans fleeing enslavement. Salvatore Carollo brings the thunder on timbales, and he will make sure you’re dancing! This program includes folkloric Cumbia dancer Joelis Lascarro to bring the dancer out in you! 

Registration recommended for updates and reminders.

Made possible by funds from the Essex County Division of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

In partnership with Latinos of Montclair.


¡Viva el Vallenato! Cumbia Band electriza a las multitudes con la música folclórica de Colombia. El cantante y percusionista Hugo Lascarro Sr. es originario de Barranquilla, Colombia, donde se presentó durante muchos años. Su hijo Hugo Jr. canta y toca
tambores tradicionales hechos a mano, la caja vallenata y la tambora costeña. El bajista y cantante José Borney es oriundo de la ciudad musicalmente rica de Tolima, Colombia. El acordeonista Phil "Felipe" "Caballo" Passantino formó la banda tras
enamorarse del vallenato, las canciones locales de la costa atlántica colombiana, cantadas con acordeones y ritmos palpitantes; y de la cumbia colombiana, un hipnótico baile de cortejo creado en el intercambio cultural entre las culturas indígenas y los
africanos que huían de la esclavitud. Salvatore Carollo trae el trueno con los timbales ¡y se asegurará de que bailes! Este programa incluye al bailarín de cumbia folclórica Joelis Lascarro para sacar al bailarín que llevas dentro.

Hecho posible gracias a los fondos de la División de Asuntos Culturales del Condado de Essex, socio del Consejo
Estatal de las Artes de Nueva Jersey.
