About the Bronx Music Heritage Center
This community cultural center presents some of the most diverse programming in New York City. It was founded by WHEDco, the Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation. That’s important because women are the guardians of culture.
It’s a small, but vibrant community center led by Puerto Ricans who support the many cultures of The Bronx. It’s not fancy, but if you’re looking for the real thing, la cultura del pueblo, it’s here. Major artists occasionally perform or stop by. It’s that special. Many programs are low cost or free.
Elena Martínez, the folklorist of The Bronx, and Bobby Sanabria, multi-Grammy nominated jazz drummer, educator, and radio host are co-directors. The advisory board is full of heavy hitters from The Bronx, including: hip-hop and salsa photographer Joe Conzo, Jr, Grandmaster Caz (Cold Crush Brothers), rapper Patty Dukes and Reph Star (Circa 95), and many more cultural leaders.
Honestly, the Bronx Music Heritage Center and Bronx Music Hall are two of the New York City cultural organizations that are most closely aligned with our multicultural point of view at New York Latin Culture Magazine.
