About Us
Coming together to start a professional musical cultural group in 2008, SN Candombe NYC's collaborative efforts were born from a strong desire to bring Afro-Uruguayan culture to the different latitudes of the world.
SN Candombe NYC is a Candombe group located in the NYC area with the purpose of exposing Afro music from Uruguay to other cultures that are surrounding this area, as well as other parts of the world which we already have the pleasure of having provided our shows.
