Who We Are
Our Mission
To play, promote, and preserve Afro-Puerto Rican music. Our goal is to take our music to every corner and stage. Below is information on our band and what we can do for organizations such as yours. Kadencia is certified by the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture as an authentic performer of Puerto Rican Folk music. Kadencia is also part of the Virginia Commission for the Arts touring directory, and a resident artist at the Perkinson Center for the Arts and Education, in Chesterfield, Virginia.
Our Values
We believe in the power of music to bring people together and inspire change. Our core values include authenticity, creativity, and community. We are committed to supporting music that is meaningful, relatable, and thought-provoking.
Our History
The band originally started in Puerto Rico and released an album, but our lead singer, Maurice Sanabria and his son Maurice "Tito" Sanabria, relocated to Chesterfield, VA in pursuit of professional opportunities. Their desire to conserve and promulgate Afro-Puerto Rican music drove the Sanabria family to start the band in Richmond in August 2018.
