Bomba Puertorriqueña #2 | Santurce, Puerto Rico

Part two. Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms. | Bomba is a traditional music- and dance style in Puerto Rico, also one of my favorites (who am I kidding really, I love all of them).
"Bomba is a musical expression created in Puerto Rico at the end of the 17th century, by West Africans and their descendants who worked the colonial sugar plantations along the coast of Puerto Rico. Through fiery drum rhythms and improvised dance, the cane workers released feelings of anger, resistance, and sadness about their condition."
