Raíces Community Cultural Arts - Introduction to Bomba

Introduction To Bomba - Drum and Dance

About the Program

Learn the Cultural Roots of Puerto Rico through Drum, Dance and Song.

Bomba – Our 10 week program :

Learn the rudiments of this art form utilizing the Barriles (Afro-Puertorican Drums), the Maraca (Taíno hand gourd) and the Cuá (Drum sticks played on a small barrel).
Learn how to speak to the drums using the movements of your body in the form of Piquetes in an expression of free form dancing.
Learn the use of Call and Response (Antiphony) in song to complement the three strains of Bomba known as Sicá, Güembe and Holandes.

Don’t know how to sing, dance or play a drum, no problem!

Bomba is community, a group celebration of freedom and expression!
