Today I attended a great workshop on Bomba put on by the Rafael Cepeda Festival. Alongside a summer camp of Puerto Rican kids and their teachers, a handful of passerbys, and the artesanos selling their wares in the courtyard of the Museo de las Americas, Manuel Perez broke down the history of Puerto Rico, gave us a few Bomba steps to walk away with and an intro to the Bombazo.
One of my goals of this trip is to introduce Bomba to my students. I thought Manny did a great job with the adults and the kids and I will definitely incorporate what I experienced as a learner into my teaching next year. I met a few practicing Bomberas and look forward to more Bomba!
