Phoenix group works to keep Puerto Rico's bomba tradition alive
Original: ‘Bomba is tradition’: Phoenix group keeps Puerto Rico’s oldest music movement alive
A Phoenix-based group is working to preserve bomba, widely regarded as Puerto Rico's oldest musical tradition, through ongoing performances and community practice. The group says 'bomba is tradition,' stressing the genre's roots in the island's African heritage and its role as a form of cultural resistance and expression, and is drawing attention far from Puerto Rico itself.
Why now: Interest in preserving Puerto Rican cultural heritage, including among diaspora communities in the United States, keeps bomba in the conversation.
