Program

Through story, song, theatre, and audience participation, TAINO explores the world that Columbus encountered in his many voyages to America, and the subsequent transformation of that world with the meeting of the Native American, European, and African peoples. Husband-wife duo, Sana and Papo Nickel create their powerful sound using exquisite vocals, guitars, congas, bongos, bamboo flutes, cuatro, requinto, and a whole array of instruments from diverse ethnic origins.
