Caribbean Roots

This Thursday, Feb. 28th at 5 PM at Bechtel International Center (near the quads), ALANA Center Community Inclusion Coordinator Antonio Calderon will be hosting Caribbean Roots, a celebration of Caribbean musical culture and history.  There will be music and dancing in the styles of salsa, reggae, reggaeton, bachata, and more.  There will also be free pizza and drinks. 


Though this event was not planned by the Black History Month committee, it is still a part of Black History Month.  The rich musical culture of the Caribbean has many influences from African culture, and the brutal history of the Middle Passage indelibly ties the Caribbean to Africa.

If you have any questions or need reasonable accommodations, please email Antonio at a_calderon1@u.pacific.edu, or call the MC at 209 946 7707.
