Vanessa's original message:
Hola A todos

I am not sure if you all know but I (Vanessa) happen to be "Dominicana". I am inviting you all to attend a block party that will include continous performances by a variety of groups celebrating Afro-Dominican Culture. the event is from 12-6pm.

The Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture and Alianza Dominicana proudly present Quijombo, a celebration of Afro-Dominican culture. While there are many expressions of this culture, Quijombo will focus on three of its most fascinating traditions: the Cocolo culture in and around the city of San Pedro de Macorís and the Congo and Salve traditions in and around the village of Mata los Indios, Villa Mella.

Abrazos

Vanessa
