BAM Free Music: Riccie Oriach

Music has always been fundamental to the mission at BAM — it’s right there in the name. And as the Winter/Spring 2025 season arrives with the New Year, live music returns to BAM in a major way with BAM Free Music (BFM).

Dominican singer, guitarist, percussionist, and sound engineer Riccie Oriach has forged a distinctive musical style that fuses punk and hard rock with traditional Caribbean rhythms like merengue, bachata, and samba. Collaborating with eminent artists including the illustrious producer Eduardo Cabra, formerly of Calle 13, Oriach has created a signature sound deeply rooted in tradition, but always looking to the future—and guaranteed to make listeners move on the dance floor.
