TomTom 2025

BoomPaTum will be performing on Friday, April 18th, 8-9p.m. at the Tom Tom Festival Block Party!!! We’ll be just south of 3rd Street, on the corner of Rapture bar/restaurant.

In this performance, we explore the Afro-Latin roots of genres like tumba, bullerengue, and salsa, creating a space to experience our inner warrior side with Maculelê and recovering the passion of Samba de Roda, originating from Bahia, Brazil.

Come see us and have fun with us! Come dance! Immerse yourself in the Boompatum experience and embrace a new way of meeting that strengthens community, with the ancient practice of the co-creative.

Boompatum is a multicultural art collective that offers live art through circle work. The group began as a group of friends who got together to play music. It continues as a way to gather and create music together in a circle. The doors are open to those who want to join!
