Bomba...dance of the African slaves brought to the island of Puerto Rico (Boriken). Bomba is a three-way dynamic communication among the songs, the drumming, and the dancing. Improvisation is what makes it vibrant and alive. Singing, which is call and response, is also improvised, and both dancers and drummers can respond to the words they hear. Dancers, one at a time, approach the drummers, and direct a drum with the movement of their bodies or skirts. It's a three-way conversation.
For those who dance, sing, or drum as a part of Bomba...this tribe is for you!
