Good to know
- “The free public dance party comes from two of the three creators of Public Service.”
To close out the dynamic 2026 Governors Island Arts’ season, themed around movement, Bebop Porú, a free dance party featuring global sounds, will pop up outdoors as a celebration of a summer brimming with art on the Island.
BeBop Porú is the musical synthesis of Black American dance music fused alongside rhythms from Africa, The Caribbean, and South America. The free public dance party comes from two of the three creators of Public Service. With sound powered by the signature hot-pink speakers of Karlala Soundsystem, Mickey Pérez, a Brooklyn-based DJ, brings a unique combination of rhythms to the dance floor. Joined by DJ L3Ni of Soul in the Horn, this all-day party celebrates diasporic sounds and brings communities together against Governors Island's picturesque backdrop of the New York skyline.
