Boriken - Puerto Rico Folk Dance
Saludos!
Ballet Folklorico Boriken's 9th year participation at the 36th Texas Folklife Festival.  June 2007, was a huge success.

Master percussionist artists George, Mike, Edwin and Casimiro along with Boriken's professional dance troupe dancers brought an innovative perspective to the program.  Our professional group's program was a combination of live performances that highlighted our African heritage.  The "bomba" dances were featured with our "barriles de bomba", bomba drums, hand made and acquired from a famous artisan from Puerto Rico.  Graciela is one of our newest members who brings her talented voice to authenticate our interpretations of our folk music.

We are Puerto Rico's only representation at the Texas Folklife Festival and are always very proud to represent our island at this statewide Festival.

Please come see us at this year's Texas Folklife Festival 2008.  We will be posting our stage times soon.

If you would like more information about our group, you can reach us at Boriken98@aol.com  Thanks for visiting our site.
