Maribel Lozada-Arzuaga

Maribel will travel to Antigua to participate in the Caribbean Arts Encounter 2005 to meet and share ideas with other artists who are working to maintain their cultural roots by passing their heritage to the next generation through arts and cultural forms. The information and new strategies for sharing art forms will be shared with the young people she works with in Franklinville by teaching the traditional rhythms of Puerto Rico like the Bomba drums, the Cuatro, and Panderos de Plena, in efforts to share the history and the realities of the people of and from Puerto Rico.
