GroundBeat: BAMS Fest AND 'Froca at the Hatch Shell

The Esplanade Association presents GroundBeat: BAMS Fest AND ‘Froca at the Hatch Shell on Monday, September 16, 2019.

The GroundBeat Music Series returns with a fantastic lineup on September 16, featuring a ‘Froca class to kick off the evening and performances produced by BAMS Fest to conclude the night!

‘Froca will begin at 5:30pm and take participants around the world, exposing them to new rhythms while they break a sweat! 'Froca is a high-energy dance-fitness class started by Sylver Rochelin Randrianantenaina, a dancer from Madagascar and a beloved Zumba instructor, that brings traditional and contemporary steps together from different countries across Africa and the Caribbean. From start to finish, 'Froca does not stop moving, which ensures people start naturally feeling the different steps and movements and get an amazing cardio workout.

Beginning at 6:10pm, Boston Art & Music Soul Festival (BAMS Fest) will celebrate youth and women empowerment through upbeat and high-energy performances from OrigiNation Cultural Arts Center and Boston’s First Female All Mariachi Band: Veronica Robles Mariachi.

First, OrigiNation Cultural Arts Center will begin the night with an unforgettable performance dancing to original works of both contemporary and traditional styles from the African diaspora. Then, Veronica Robles Mariachi will close out the show performing a variety of original songs that will enlighten audience members.

BAMS Fest, Inc. is a nonprofit startup organization that strives to breakdown racial and social barriers to arts, music and culture for communities and artists of color across Greater Boston.
