Candida Rose Baptista will be sharing a Part I presentation of “KabuMerikanus – The Sum of US” during this second stop on her New Bedford Tour: July 13th, at the Cape Verdean Veterans Memorial Hall! This musical presentation will dive into the history and context surrounding the transnational musical exchanges between Cabo Verde and the United States throughout their interlinked histories.

This program is supported in part by the Wicked Cool Places grant funded by the City of New Bedford through its Arts, Culture & Tourism Fund, and by the New Bedford Economic Development Council, which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
