“Es un día en el que la comunidad se toma las calles bajo sus propias reglas: la tradicional bomba y plena afro-puertorriqueña, banderas, partidas de dominó, bocinazos, arte.” https://t.co/FNLHqBFD02

“We don’t do a parade just to be festive. From the beginning this has been a community-led effort to keep ourselves safe in a neighborhood with a long history of over-policing Puerto Ricans,” said @elgritoOrg's Dennis Flores. via @dparramejia: https://t.co/hrmFtP4uIa

Accompanied by call & response singing, maraca & cuá rhythms, bomba is both a celebration & a form of cultural resistance, carrying stories of struggle, survival. Today, it remains a vibrant expression of Afro-Puerto Rican identity, community gathering, & collective freedom.

[El Grito @elgritoOrg]

It is a dynamic dialogue between dancer and drummer, where the dancer’s improvised movements lead and the main drum, called the barril, answers each gesture in real time.
