The 2023 Music Series at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs will kick off Sunday at 4 p.m., with a talk, workshop, and performance by La Manga, a Brooklyn-based collective inspired by the spirit of the modern and ancestral peoples of the Colombian Caribbean coast.

The program will begin with a 30-minute introduction to Afro-Colombian oral traditions and a workshop where audience members will learn to play the traditional rhythm of Colombian cumbia using only their voices and bodies. A 90-minute performance will follow. 

La Manga has performed at Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, MoMA PS1, and the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.

The music series is organized by Adam O'Farrill, a composer and trumpeter.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
