SUMMARY:Postponed - Aquí\, Somos: 55 Years of SRBCC with Agua Sol y Sereno
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. \nAfter much reflection\, we made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone our 55th Anniversary event originally scheduled for May 30. This was not an easy decision. We worked hard to bring this celebration to life\, but due to a combination of timing\, capacity\, and circumstances beyond our control\, we do not feel we can produce the event at the level of care\, joy\, and excellence that this milestone deserves. \nSRBCC’s 55th Anniversary is more than a single evening. It is a celebration of legacy\, community\, artists\, youth\, elders\, and the generations of people who made this cultural home possible. We want to honor that history properly. \nOur intention is to reschedule the celebration in the coming fiscal year\, likely in the fall\, when we can give the event the planning\, resources\, and visibility it deserves. \nFor those who purchased tickets\, your tickets will be honored for the rescheduled date. If you prefer to request a refund\, we will absolutely understand and will share details on that process shortly. For donors who contributed in support of the anniversary\, your gift will continue to support SRBCC’s programs\, artists\, and the future anniversary celebration unless you prefer otherwise. \nWe are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and are grateful for your understanding\, patience\, and continued belief in our work. At a time when small arts organizations like ours are navigating real challenges\, your support means more than ever. \nThank you for standing with SRBCC. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you in a way that truly reflects the spirit\, history\, and future of our organization. \nAquí\, Somos: 55 Years of SRBCC is Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center’s signature anniversary fundraiser—an unforgettable night celebrating 55 years of Puerto Rican culture\, community\, and artistic excellence in Chicago. \nThis year’s program features Agua\, Sol y Sereno (Puerto Rico)\, led by Artistic Director Pedro Adorno Irizarry\, presenting an original performance created in Chicago through “Batey de la Memoria” a week-long series of workshops and creative labs with local artists and community members. Rooted in bomba’s power as a living\, communal art form\, the work weaves voice\, rhythm\, movement\, and image—inviting story\, humor\, memory\, and social commentary into the batey through purposeful improvisation and visual elements such as masks\, flags\, and printed or drawn pieces. \nThis performance embodies everything SRBCC stands for: Puerto Rican artists from the Island and Chicago-based creatives coming together in a truly multidisciplinary celebration of culture\, community\, and collaboration. \nYour ticket and donation directly support SRBCC’s year-round programming and artist fund at a critical moment—helping sustain a cultural home that continues to uplift artists and serve our community. \nAbout our guest artist: Agua\, Sol y Sereno from Puerto Rico \nAgua\, Sol y Sereno (ASYS)\, founded by Pedro Adorno and Cathy Vigo in 1993\, is a theater collective—now composed of eight artists—whose aesthetic and community-based work remains in constant dialogue with social realities and the search for the human being’s inner poetics. The collective embraces multiple artistic disciplines within its theatrical practice\, including painting\, dance\, music\, and writing. Its creative workshops are designed to explore the questions and imagination of people of all ages across all kinds of communities. ASYS has created more than twenty original theater works grounded in a deep ecological and historical consciousness. Through its comparsas and performance actions\, the collective brings art into the street\, engaging themes of local and international relevance. Rooted in Caribbean experimentation and in active relationship with both the outer world and the inner world\, ASYS’s aesthetic and pedagogical practice generates cultural\, artistic\, and philosophical processes of profound impact. \n  \nEspañol \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAquí\, Somos: 55 Años de SRBCC es el evento principal de recaudación de fondos del Centro Cultural Segundo Ruiz Belvis—una noche inolvidable para celebrar 55 años de cultura puertorriqueña\, comunidad y excelencia artística en Chicago. \nEste año presentamos al colectivo puertorriqueño Agua\, Sol y Sereno\, liderado por su director artístico Pedro Adorno Irizarry\, con una presentación original creada en Chicago a partir de “Historias del Batey: Narrativa en la Bomba\,” una semana de talleres y laboratorios creativos junto a artistas locales y miembros de la comunidad. Enraizada en la bomba como arte vivo y comunitario\, esta propuesta entreteje voz\, ritmo\, movimiento e imagen en el batey a través del cuento\, el humor\, la memoria y el comentario social mediante la improvisación con intención e incorporando recursos visuales como máscaras\, banderas y elementos impresos o dibujados. \nTu boleto y donación apoyan directamente la programación anual y el fondo de artistas de SRBCC en un momento crucial\, ayudando a sostener un hogar cultural que continúa elevando a nuestros artistas y sirviendo a nuestra comunidad. \n\nAgua\, Sol y Sereno (ASYS)\, fundado por Pedro Adorno y Cathy Vigo en 1993\, es un colectivo teatral —hoy compuesto por ocho artistas—\, cuyo trabajo estético y comunitario mantiene un diálogo constante con la realidad social y la búsqueda de la poética interior del ser humano. Acoge variadas disciplinas artísticas dentro del teatro\, tales como la pintura\, la danza\, la música y la escritura. Sus talleres de creación son dirigidos a explorar las inquietudes y la imaginación de personas de todas las edades en todo tipo de comunidades. ASYS cuenta con más de una veintena de piezas de teatro originales que parten de una profunda conciencia ecológica e histórica. Sus comparsas y actos performáticos\, exploran el arte desde la calle incorporando temas de pertinencia local e internacional. La experimentación enraizada en el caribe y en interacción con el mundo exterior e interior\, hacen del trabajo estético y pedagógico de ASYS\, un espacio generador de procesos de alto impacto cultural\, artístico y filosófico.

SUMMARY:Barrio Bugalú welcomes Daniel Díaz and Alexander López
DESCRIPTION:BYOB (Beer and Wine Only) | Salsa Class with Lisa La Boriqua at 6:45 pm | $10 Suggested Donation not required for admission | Complimentary Small Bite with your donation (While Supplies Last) \nAlmost two decades ago some of the most serious Latin record collectors in Chicago joined forces to play for a packed dance floor at Sonotheque as part of the Chicago World Music Festival (2007). The monthly all-vinyl Barrio Bugalú was born at one of Chicago’s top audiophile destinations. SRBCC relives Barrio Bugalú with appearances by the original host DJs (Super Barrio Brothers and Agúzate DJ Crew)\, as well as special sets by some of Chicago’s most avid vinyl selectors. \nHeld every last Friday of the month\, Barrio Bugalú is not just a dance party; it’s a celebration of history\, a tribute to the pioneers of Latin music\, and a testament to the timeless power of Afro-Caribbean rhythms to bring people together. \nSpecial Guest: Daniel Díaz & Alexander López \nPuerto Rican artist Daniel Díaz was born with rhythm in his hands. It is his rhythm and his hands that have made him a one-of-a-kind artist—just like his musical invention known as El Tripandero. This ingenious creation\, conceived by Daniel in 2010\, combines the rhythm of the three hand drums (panderos) that produce the sound of traditional Puerto Rican plena into a single instrument. \nAlongside René Pérez “Residente\,” Daniel has performed on stages in over 57 countries\, showcasing to the world both his creativity and the musical power of his Tripandero. This young percussionist\, arranger\, and composer has also collaborated with a wide range of musical stars\, including Calle 13\, Shakira\, Ricky Martin\, Carlos Vives\, Ricardo Montaner\, Mon Laferte\, Bad Bunny\, Giovanni Hidalgo\, Diego El Cigala\, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico\, Ismael Miranda… and has performed on global platforms such as the 2017 Latin Grammys\, hundreds of festivals around the world—including Austin City Limits—and Cirque du Soleil by Lionel Messi. \nhttps://segundoruizbelvis.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled-design-4.mp4\nTickets
