This long awaited CD is finally here! For years Jorge Vazquez an accomplished children's instructor of Bomba has worked to produce this recording.  Cuando la Bomba Te Llama Vol. 1 is a unique  album in which the 5 core Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba rhythms are provided those being Cuembe, Holande, Seis Corrido, Sica and Yuba.  Vazquez does not stop with just one track for each rhythm he goes a step further and provides separate tracks to practice cua, maraca and then buleador  so as to allow musicians and dancers alike to sharpen their skills.  This is a must have for all Bomberos regardless if you are a teacher or student all can benefit from this amazing work.

Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba Educational CD by Jorge Vazquez

After a fundraiser event on August 2nd, all that is needed to complete this project is $600! With your help the CDs will be ready in early September!

"Cuando La Bomba Te Llama: vol. 1"—a unique educational CD that provides practice tracks for seasoned as well as beginner bomba dancers and musicians. The first 5 tracks are 5 full minutes of 5 basic Afro-Puerto Rican bomba rhythms: sicá, cuembé, holandé, yubá and seis corrido. Those tracks provide great practice opportunity for dancers, singers, composers and primo/subidor players. The next 15 tracks feature what I call the "bomba minus 1" method, where the buleador, cuá or maraca is absent so that people can practice one of those instruments while having the support of the rest of the bomba ensemble. This CD is my contribution toward strengthening bomba and nurturing the next generation of bomberos and bomberas.

***Luego del evento de recaudación de fondos el 2 de agosto, solo faltan $600 para completar este proyecto. ¡Con tu ayuda, los Cds estarán listos para principio de septiembre!

"Cuando La Bomba Te Llama: vol. 1"—un CD educativo que ofrece pistas musicales de práctica para bailadores y músicos de bomba (tanto expertos como principiantes). Las primeras 5 pistas consisten en 5 minutos dedicados a 5 golpes básicos de bomba: sicá, cuembé, holandé, yubá y seis corrido. Ellas proveen excelente oportunidad de práctica para bailadores, cantantes, compositores y tocadores de primo/subidor. Las próximas 15 pistas consisten en lo que llamo el método "bomba menos 1" donde el buleador, cuá o maraca está ausente para que el individuo pueda practicar alguno de esos instrumentos con el apoyo del resto del conjunto musical. Este CD es mi contribución al fortalecimiento de la bomba y al cultivo de la próxima generación de bomberos y bomberas.
