Bomba is one of the folk musical styles of Puerto Rico. it is a largely African-derived music. The rhythm and beat are played by a set of hand drums and a maraca. Dance is an integral part of the music: the dancers move their bodies to every beat of the drum, making bomba a very wild and rich dance. Bomba is described to be a challenge between the drummer and the dancer. The dancer produces a series of gestures to which the primo drummer provides a synchronized beat.

  • Bomba is one of the folk musical styles of Puerto Rico. it is a largely African-derived music. The rhythm and beat are played by a set of hand drums and a maraca. Dance is an integral part of the music: the dancers move their bodies to every beat of the drum, making bomba a very wild and rich dance. Bomba is described to be a challenge between the drummer and the dancer. The dancer produces a series of gestures to which the primo drummer provides a synchronized beat. Thus, it is the drummer who attempts to follow the dancer and not the other way around. The dancer must be in great physical shape and the challenge usually continues until either the dancer or drummer discontinues. The main instruments used in bomba style music are any number of low pitched hand drums used to create a base rhythm, and a higher pitch drum which accentuates the beat with improvised patterns. Other instruments used are the palitos or cuas, which are sticks that are struck against any, usually wooden, surface. A single large maraca usually completes the sound of bomba, though a güiro has commonly been used in orchestral arrangements. Both of these last two instruments have origins in the Taino culture of the Caribbean Basin.
  • La bomba es un género artístico de música y baile afro-puertorriqueño. Se cree que fue llevada por los esclavos que llegaron de las Antillas francesas procedentes de la costa oeste de África. La bomba tiene más de veinte ritmos, de los cuales los más populares son el sicá, el yubá y el holandés. Otros ritmos son guembe, cuembe, gracima y danue. Tradicionalmente van acompañados de un baile donde el percusionista intenta seguir los pasos improvisados del bailarín.
  • La bomba è un genere musicale tipico di Porto Rico ma di antiche origini africane. Le basi musicali furono importate dagli schiavi africani ghanesi e nigeriani che durante il periodo coloniale vennero obbligati a trasferirsi sull'isola per lavorare sotto la corona spagnola. Il ritmo della bomba è scandito da una serie di percussioni a mano a da maracas; la danza è parte integrante della musica. Altri strumenti utilizzati per suonare la bomba sono i palitos e il güiro. Nella canzone La Bomba di Ricky Martin sono presenti alcuni ritmi autentici della bomba mischiati ad altre influenze latine.
  • La bomba est un genre musical et une danse qui s'est développée à la fin du Modèle:XVIIe siècle à Porto Rico, dans des régions où des esclaves de l'Afrique occidentale et leurs descendants ont vécu et travaillé, typiquement sur les plantations coloniales qui étaient courantes le long des plaines côtières, et en particulier la ville de Loiza.
