Tinkus San Simon Filial Rhode Island

Tinkus San Simon Filial Rhode Island is a local cultural organization and dance fraternity dedicated to practicing, preserving, and performing the Tinku, a vibrant, high-energy traditional Bolivian folkloric dance.

The group operates as a regional chapter (filial) of the larger global Fraternidad Folklórica Cultural Tinkus San Simon, which originated in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Known for their intensely colorful costumes, rhythmic stomping, and energetic choreography, the Rhode Island chapter frequently participates in cultural parades, community festivals, and multi-performance showcases celebrating Bolivian heritage across New England.
