The Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC) celebrates the rich musical legacy of the Bronx by drawing upon and restoring pride in its history. The BMHC honors Bronx music "Living Legends", hosts concerts and discussions, celebrates music history, and provides artists with a space to create and share their work. The Bronx Music Heritage Center is an initiative of WHEDco (www.whedco.org). The BMHC Laboratory opened in April 2012 at 1303 Louis Niñé Boulevard, Bronx, NY. The lab is a "pop-up" space to share and experience art and music. Artists are given the chance to curate the space with concerts, screenings, installations, and other events. Building off the success of the BMHC lab, WHEDco will open a permanent music venue and cultural center, the Bronx Music Hall, in Bronx Commons, its third affordable housing development, currently under construction. Bronx Commons will transform the final undeveloped parcel of the Melrose Commons Urban Renewal Area into a vibrant center for living, working, learning, shopping and entertainment – including 305 affordable apartments, a landscaped public plaza, places to eat and shop, all anchored by the Bronx Music Hall. WHEDco and co-developer BFC Partners began construction on Bronx Commons in 2017. BMHC programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. The BMHC is deeply grateful to the many contributors, including the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, whose generous gifts help provide free community arts programming.

This Saturday we conclude our BLUES & R&B series with EMANUEL CASABLANCA & his trio. When Emanuel Casablanca picks up a guitar, it doesn’t just sing—it testifies. A torchbearer for 21st-century blues and blues-rock, Casablanca straddles grit and grace like few others in the genre today. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Emanuel grew up immersed in the rhythmic pulse of the city and the echoes of Southern blues. His influences—ranging from Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix, to Gary Clark Jr. and Dan Auerbach—converge in a sound that’s raw, rhythmic, and righteously unpolished. Casablanca first turned heads with his breakout LP, Fingers and Knives (2018), but it was his sophomore effort, Strung Out on Thrills (2020), that signaled the arrival of a major voice in modern blues. His third album, Blood on My Hands (2022), catapulted him to new heights. Hailed by critics for its emotional depth and sonic swagger, the record garnered two Independent Blues Award nominations, including Best Emerging Artist Album and Best Modern Blues Performance.

🤘🔥 THE BRONX IS READY TO ROCK! 🔥🤘

ROCK THE BRONX is back at the Bronx Music Hall for a night where rock, punk, funk, soul, and Latin rhythms collide. 🎸🥁⚡

Taking the stage: The UNBROK3N THE UNBROK3N , an NYC punk-rock trio bringing raw guitar, driving bass, hard-hitting drums, and songs rooted in resilience, survival, and plenty of rebellious energy. Their sound represents street punk, skate punk, ska punk, hardcore, and more!

Then get ready for TAINO NY! where the clave meets the guitar amp. Founded by Frank Ocasio Frank Ocasio and Frank Cotto, TAINO NY mixes Afro-Cuban and Latin rhythms with rock, funk, soul, and improvisation, drawing inspiration from everyone from Santana, Willie Colón, and Tito Puente to James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, and AC/DC.

And they’re bringing special guests Jorge Vazquez and Juan Gerena to make the night even bigger.

The Bronx gave the world so many sounds and ROCK has always been part of that story, that’s why let’s ROCK THE BRONX 🤘🏽💥
