For the 6th summer FBIP brings music to the beautiful waterfront in Bushwick Inlet Park with our Summer Music in BIP 2026 series. Come take in a skyline river sunset on the 86 Kent shoreline esplanade while absorbing great musical vibes from multiple genres.
We are featuring two makeup shows in one, BombaYo! & Dr. Drum and Ed Martinez & Conjunto Sabor, both El Puente CADRE shows!
BombaYo ignites the ancestral rhythms of Bomba, an African derived music and dance tradition developed in Puerto Rico. The synergy of call and response singing, drumming and dance provide the foundation for a dynamic interplay between the solo drummer and dancer. BombaYo stirs the soul in a way that only music and dance can to uplift and celebrate our deeper humanity. BombaYo creates an intergenerational and participatory experience that honors people of all ages and abilities.
Ed Martinez is a percussionist, vocalist, and bandleader who has performed with various bands in NYC. Born to a musical family in the Bronx, Ed has developed a sound inspired by his mentors and teachers which include Mario Grillo, Tommy Bayiokes, John Berdeguer, and Sam Ulano.
Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council.
A big thanks goes out this year’s sponsors & supporters:
