Puerto RIcan culture is very heterogenous. I enjoy all of its cub cultures, but to be honest, this is not the culture of many puerto ricans, like those in the central mountains who are descendants of canarians and whose music is música jíbara. We value all of it but we also value our diversity.
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'm so very Proud of my Afro-Puerto Rican ROOTS! Great video. Thanks for sharing. I was born in PR, raised in the US but my parents made sure we knew our culture. WE weren't allowed to speak English at home and we knew all about Bomba y Plena and much of our Puerto Rican History. WE are beautiful in culture- AFRICAN- TAINO- SPANIARD!!!!
My ethnic background is Maori, i am from New Zealand and i have a Puerto Rican friend who just recently told me a little about your guys history. Beautiful culture. I'm glad you're proud of your roots. I'm proud of mine too.
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
@@SG483 actually the dancer leads, the main drummer called "primo" is following the dancer's improv. A dancer comes to the front and when she/he salutes the primo, (you can see it in 01:15) it's on and drummer follows dance. It's a game to see if the primo can follow the dancer's movements with the beat.
words can not explain how bomba makes me feel, and alma moyo in my opinion is on the top of a short list of the best. que viva nuestra musica puertorriquena

I thank you guys so much for your profession I highly recognized and I'm going to share however you guys have me in tears my mother's name is Julia from PR Rico
@@marcosantiago3253 How? You aint hearing any flamenco shit in salsa music... Salsa is a mix of guaguanco,rumba,son,cha cha cha, mambo, musica Guajira, Musica Jibara,bomba, plena y aguinaldo.
With all the respect the singer now within this song at this moment in love with the dancer I just need to put it out there you guys need to connect and stop fighting it when you beat those drums while she was dancing I song and I felt it in my soul
Me encanto esta. Are there lyrics or musical notes so that I can try to learn the parts? I could try by mimicking but it might be easier having a reference first.
@jimbooie1718 - Glad to get such a positive comment from you. I feel the same way about our music and culture. If you have a moment, please register a like on this video. Thanks!
It means Agua......which means (water) and Nile which is in Africa. So it basically means water from the Nile. No matter what variation of the word is used......that's what it means.
@@40INTENSITY Keyla Matias has the right definition. The similarity to the Spanish word for water is just coincidence. I also like how Hector Lavoe sang Aguanile.
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.
It's such a beautiful thing my mother is the one that taught me this like 2 weeks ago I never knew that this tradition existed I'm more American type of a woman however my birthday is this month and mommy said to give you guys my name my name is Nancy and I salute you gentleman for my name so while you guys are out there I will be here just let me know I didn't know that existed now that I will be 49 August height is 5 2 body weight 120 physical body 36 19 40 so please let me know if you guys can do something for my birthday my mom she's from Puerto Rico I've never been there I've been stuck here and I'm crying because Mommy never showed me this thank you for listening well I'm listen to your music it's working within my heart because I'm a Christian single woman for 10 years God bless thank you for showing me something different my people now I know what to do
I hate to be the one to say this but Aguatile aguatile chorus and the drums were against each other on the beat. Off beat to each other. Estavan cruzao. It could've sound even better. Everything else I liked. Thank you for the video.
They prefer to show the mixed or mestizo women over the Black women. That is not venerating the female ancestors. It's disrespecting them by suppressing the ones with their same skin color.
As an Igbo with a bunch of Rican friends, it is mind blowing to see how close to their roots Puerto Ricans have stayed🤯

@@dbbrainer I'm a jibara, but bomba y plena is also a strong part of the culture i love and enjoy
dbbrainer dbbrainer Yo ni se si le pasa a todos pero yo conecto tanto con la Bomba como la música jibara ❤️
@@dbbrainer jíbara is a mixed culture of Spaniard and African influences... Almost the same
❤❤❤❤

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.
Our African Ancestors would be proud to know that they were not forgotten. Great video!
BUTLERU ASÍ ES, WELL SAID 👏 👏 👏 👏
Ummm you need to do your homework bud , this isn’t originally from an African background its Spaniard
Marco Santiago haha you’re the one that needs to do your homework. This shit screams Africa, wake up!
Marco Santiago Oh u smoking that WEPA WEPA 😂
@@marcosantiago3253 lol it's African.
Wow me encanta las plena y la bomba soy cubana pero me.siento boricua
It's virtually impossible not to dance to this- Puerto Rican Soul!
Tan orgulloso de la bomba puertorriqueña como de mi idioma español que no debemos de olvidar ni sustituir por ningún otro idioma.

We have so much culture embedded in us, Spanish, African, Taino, even French and Japanese. Did you know the San Juan Bautista was built in Japan?

El poder de la bomba es increíble te lleva a otra dimensión
Que viva nuestra cultura 🇵🇷
Necesitamos mas de esto Boricuas
Dios TE bendiga Alma Moyo!!
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
I am so proud of being Puerto Rican especially because this is the only dance in which I know that the woman leads
Actually the drummer leads... it's a dance between the drummer and the dancer. Men can also dance "with" the drummer

What does Awa- Delay mean In Spanish?? (Sorry for the horrible spelling but trying to sound it out)
Aguatile or Aguanile is a santeria word meaning spiritual cleansing. It's not a spanish word.
Thank you!

Can someone tell me what those big congas are called?

Thank you! I've searched. Where can I get these drums? I'm in the USA.

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.
En la segunda parte del video 3:41 lo que se toca en los panderos es plena y no bomba.
Son cinco variantes de Bomba. Yuba, Sica, Cuembe, Seis Corrido, y Holande🇵🇷
Estan colgao to!!
Same here
no entiendo la parte donde dice no,no,no,Don pacheco.......??
