This week I selected Ilu Aye's Mayaguez. Back in early 2012 one of my drum instructors told my class that as a part of our Bomba education we really needed to see what it looks like outside of the class room. In settings like the club featured in this video a dancer may not have the room to really spread out and do all their moves because things get so compact. The dancers in this video show that despite the close quarters you have to bring it. Another point the instructors were trying to make was that Bomba has a different energy to it outside of the class room and away from cultural demonstrations. In this video Bomberos are performing and dancing for each other everyone gets it and it makes difference when it comes to the vibe.
