Three Latinx organizations in Massachusetts, Hyde Square Task Force, Amplify Latinx, and Ágora Cultural Architects, come together to keep Latino culture buzzing with #CadenciaLatina: Performances from home.
On June 14th at 7pm, Bajucol, a Colombian Folklore Dance group will be performing a ballet folk dance on Facebook Live. Bajucol is a non-profit organization, founded by Miguel Vargas in 1995, dedicated to entertain and inspire young people to pursue their passion for Colombian Folklore and dance. Bajucol is composed of 20 youngsters of different ages who come together for their love of dance and to represent their Latin American Identity. Bajucol not only inspires young people to pursue careers as performers, but it also aims to teach the community about Colombia’s history, heritage, and culture through expressive folkloric dances and lively performances. Tune in on Bajucol’s Facebook Page and enjoy this amazing performance from the safety of your home.

While we have your attention ;) : Let’s make sure Latinxs are seen and heard every day. Take the opportunity to visit https://2020census.gov/ and fill out the Census. Latinxs make up an undercounted group, which puts us at a disadvantage that could mean less funding and political voice.
