El Museo is bringing positive ‘palo’ energy to Uptown Bounce! Rooted in Africa’s Congo region and later brought to the Caribbean, the ‘palo’ (stick) was created and used to reinforce the power of the Congo spirits. Join us in creating your very own ‘palo’ embedded with the energy to bring positive change in unity. DJ Bembona will spin some Latinx & Afro-Diasporadical sounds. Featuring food on sale by Mofon-GO. ¡El Museo trae la buena energía de ‘palo’ a Uptown Bounce!
