SOBRE BOMBA:
Bomba es un término general que se refiere a una variedad de estilos musicales y bailes asociados originarios de Puerto Rico. Se desarrolló durante el siglo XVII por africanos esclavizados y sus descendientes en las plantaciones de caña de azúcar a lo largo de los pueblos costeros. Es la tradición musical más antigua de la isla y tiene sus raíces en la resistencia.
