Candida Rose Baptista will be sharing a Part II presentation of “KabuMerikanus – The Sum of US” during this final stop on her New Bedford Tour: July 24, at the Underground Railroad Café & Gallery! In Part II, Candida will explore the “Songs, Sounds, and Rhythms” of Cabo Verdean music, using examples from historic New Bedford-based artists to demonstrate the diversity of genres that make up the Cabo Verdean soundscape.

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.
