Bronx Rising!: The Garifuna Resistance

Celebrate the powerful legacy of King Joseph Chatoyer, the Garifuna leader who led his people in resistance against British colonial rule in the Caribbean during the 18th century. Through a vibrant fusion of music, dance, and theater, Felix Gamboa’s Joseph Chatoyer Garifuna Dance Ensemble brings this story of courage, culture, and resilience to life.

The evening also includes a discussion exploring Chatoyer’s historical impact and the rich traditions of the Garifuna people—whose community today thrives in the Bronx, home to the largest Garifuna population outside Central America.
