Come kick off 2022s PHonk! Philly Festival with an evening of music, community AND …. Banda Rim Bam Bum!

Inspired by the traditional rhythms of Andean culture, Latin American Carnival, and the fusions of Afro-Latin rhythms, the rhythmic mixtures of Rim Bam Bum will awaken your senses to vivid expressions of celebration. Let them take you on a sonorous journey that will travel through the iconic and diverse rhythms of a carnival party…

Banda Rim Bam Bum is an ensemble of 20 wind and percussionists, along with a figurín who brings them to life. In 2016, after 6 years of deepening their artistic work, their first musical album “Imparable” was born. With 11 original compositions, the album flows through rhythms and melodies of the Latin America, such as morenada, diablada, tinku, salsa and frevo, in addition to funk, ska, and rocksteady fusions.

ABOUT PHONK! PHILLY

PHonk! produces a free all ages art and music festival, offers workshops and pop-up performances in public spaces, provides artistic support to community actions, and contributes a values-based, grassroots platform to Philadelphia’s rich cultural ecosystem where chefs, makers, musicians, and all those with curious minds and open hearts can share moments of joy and build connections to each other, to their culture, and to the land.
