Julia de Burgos was more than a poet—she was a voice for the marginalized, an advocate for Puerto Rican identity, and a fearless writer who challenged social norms. This one-night-only event brings her poetry to life through original jazz compositions by Tito Charneco, blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with modern jazz interpretations.

With seven-time Grammy winner Arturo O’Farrill and the other talented musicians joining the performance, this concert is sure to be a hit! Join us for a unique fusion of literature and jazz, celebrating Burgos’ legacy in a city she once called home.
