Kadencia has a smaller ensemble known as a “comparsa” that plays original and classic Bomba and Plena in its traditional percussive format.  Kadencia’s “comparsa” has played for the Richmond Performing Arts Alliance (RPAA), Chesterfield’s Chester and Central Library, Bank of America, and Chesterfield County's Festival de Música. 

Kadencia is comprised of professional musicians that have toured with local and internationally renowned bands in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region.  Founded in Puerto Rico by singer-songwriter Maurice Sanabria-Ortiz and percussionist Roberto Candelario, Kadencia was reborn in late 2018, with the help of percussionists Maurice “Tito” Sanabria and Santos Ramirez, and now calls Richmond, Virginia its home base.  The band delivers heavy-hitting original music and uses Bomba, Plena, and Salsa to promulgate Puerto Rican culture, educate audiences on the Island’s native musical expressions, and make audiences move in ways they never knew possible.
