love di choreo
Break free with every movement
Feel it
The beat of the drum
The rhythm driving your feet
Feel the vibrations in your legs
The freedom of your sweat
Dampening of the weight that it carries
Yes chile' break free
You see, these tribesmen are ferrying a boat to your freedom
Can you see?
Across the waters, deep blues and aqua
Salt air and sea licking your skin
Can you see?
Dance chile'
Your body feels what your body already knows
At the hem of my skirt is lightening
I bequeath that power to you
Come here
Sit here at the hem of my skirt
Wield the power of lightening
Come here chile
Rise
Your skirt has been made for you
Take your power back
Rise chile'
Rise
Rise and take it back

Lo que no saben:
NO ES : "BOMBA Y PLENA"
1.Son dos géneros distintos aunque tenga origen de música africana.
2. La bailadora es la que le marca el ritmo al primo tambor.
3. Existen tres variantes de bomba: Holandés, no me acuerdo si los otros se llaman Güembé, francés o sicá.

Our African Ancestors would be proud to know that they were not forgotten. Great video!

@Marco Santiago I’m actually listening to this FOR homework in my Experiencing World Cultures Through Music class, and the one biggest thing I’ve learned in that class is that you can trace almost any music back to Africa in some way.
Thatguy but it's actually a girl
@Marco Santiago lmao you're funny. There is literally no Taino culture in Puerto Rico. When those cultures were being made, Tainos were already assimilated into Black and mixed population...

@Marco Santiago https://welcome.topuertorico.org/city/loiza.shtml The second paragraph confirms what I suspected. Loiza was settled by Yoruba slaves in the 16th century. I could definitely detect some Yoruba traces in the first performance, in some of the words and the style of dancing. So as part of your 'homework' could you read the article at the end of the above link? :)

@Marco Santiago Sorry I was only referring to the first song
Marco Santiago
@Michael Ilori no the Taino culture and the Spanish are the ends so do your homework lol

This music needs to never be forgotten. It's beautiful and makes me proud to be Puerto Rican! We have such an amazing culture, and we should share it for the entire world to see...

I agreed 100%, a country is defined by its culture n traditions. Puerto Rico is full of culture , music n traditions, let's keep it alive.

Tan orgulloso de la bomba puertorriqueña como de mi idioma español que no debemos de olvidar ni sustituir por ningún otro idioma.

As an Igbo with a bunch of Rican friends, it is mind blowing to see how close to their roots Puerto Ricans have stayed🤯
