Music has always been fundamental to the mission at BAM—it’s in our name. When BAM Free Music launched in 2025, we packed the house with audiences hungry for fresh sounds, and these melodic (and free!) offerings have since become a pillar of BAM’s Spring slate. Programmed by BAM Music Curator At-Large, Lia Camille Crockett, our third season turns the spotlight on African diasporic artists and sounds in celebration of DanceAfrica’s 50th year.
An instant sensation in its first two seasons, BAM Free Music has presented major artists like Bilal and Pedrito Martínez alongside rising stars such as Yaya Bey and OKAN. Events are held in The Adam Space at BAM's Peter J. Sharp Building, a premier destination to see and hear local, national, and global artists in a welcoming setting suited to listening, mingling, and dancing. Get your groove on with fellow music lovers and tastemakers, with DJs keeping the music flowing before and after each performance.
Stay tuned for our detailed season announcement, coming soon!
