Bronx Music Hall is a performing arts center and community center for Bronx culture at Bronx Commons in Melrose. It has very eclectic curation that represents the diversity of Bronx communities. Honestly, it reminds us of community centers in Puerto Rico because it brings culture to the people.
Once upon a time in The Bronx, the drum never stopped. The opening of the Bronx Music Hall is the return of the drum. This is a great place to learn various forms of drumming and dancing, including Puerto Rican bomba, Colombian cumbia, Dominican gagá, African American tap, Spanish flamenco, and more. Bronx Music Heritage Center programs have moved here. Some of New York’s leading cultural organizations collaborate on programming. Big stars and community leaders alike come to teach and perform.

About the Bronx Music Hall
The Hall opened in 2024. It’s a project of the Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco) which develops affordable housing. That’s important because women are the guardians of culture. Lead producers are Elena Martínez, the folklorist of The Bronx; and Bobby Sanabria, Bronx born and raised, multiple Grammy-nominated jazz drummer, composer, and educator. If you want to know the real history of The Bronx, Elena and Bobby are two of the people you want to talk with.
Melrose was once an entertainment hub like Greenwich Village is now. Bronx Music Hall is an important step in bringing entertainment back to Bronx communities. This is Bronx Rising!
