OLAA’s younger e-board members took the stage next to represent Colombia through cumbia, a folkloric dance notable for its graceful simplicity. Backed by a full band and three additional singers, Simone dazzled the crowd with Spanish classics like Jarabe De Palo’s “La Flaca” and his own original song, “El Escenario.” The group finished its set with a cover of Rosalía’s “Malamente,” a crowd favorite that was met with raucous applause. The first act to take the stage was Tristan Simone, a rapper and jazz artist from Berklee College of Music.
The show kicked off with a brief introductory video, presenting the night’s theme alongside a montage of traditional Latin American communities in celebration.
The show, which highlighted the cultural traditions of Latin countries around the world, is only the first event in the greater Latino Family Weekend, a three-day celebration of Boston College’s Latin American students, families, and alumni. The Organization of Latin American Affairs (OLAA) held its annual culture show, titled “Welcome Home,” on Friday night.
