The 7th Annual Melrose Parranda
The Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC) hosts its 7th annual parranda, the Puerto Rican tradition of caroling. This festive parade will be led by members of the Bronx music and cultural community, including Jorge Vázquez, Matthew Gonzalez, Bobby Sanabria, and others. Each stop along the parranda will be a different casita, the little houses that evoke the houses of the countryside in Puerto Rico. The parranda will wind its way through Melrose Commons, ending at the casita renowned for its musical legacy. Rincón Criollo Centro Cultural aka “La Casita de Chema.”
