Sancocho, (san-KO-choh) is a stew in Latin America that combines meats, vegetables and spices to create a unique taste.

Nuestra Diaspora (“Our Diaspora”) brings to life the African elements of the arts in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the U.S., including religious and secular dances such as Rumba, Bailes Orishas, Bomba and Plena.

If this event sounds interesting, you should explore some other cross-fertilizations of Africans in the Americas, such as the Affrilachian Poets February 8, or the Brazilian film "Favela Rising" at IMA the same day. Or groove with the Urban Drum Emsemble April 26.
