A dialogue between drum, body, and the collective voice. Every step, and every beat of the drum reminds us that we are connected to the past and to the future. A tradition born of resistance that today remains a celebration of freedom. Each town in Puerto Rico expresses bomba in its own way. The rhythms pulsate on the sand an improvised dialogue where the body commands and the music obeys. The rhythms blend with the Carnival, and the energy of the people. The vejigantes, half-enigmatic figures carved by artisans and painted with vibrant colors, are not costumes, they are spirits of the Caribbean. They awaken the ancestral memory of our people. They are cultural guardians, symbols of resistance that embody the eternal battle against darkness. In each mask burns the strength of a people that transforms fear into power, and struggle into celebration. Dancing bomba is strength, tension, and freedom. Bomba is unity, it unites towns and generations, Afro-Puerto Rican cultural pride. When the rhythm calls, the entire community responds.

Margarita Tata Cepeda: They brought their religion, they brought their music, they brought everything. New Speaker: And so, of course, many people communicated more through a form that different regions did share: rhythmic genres, forms of bodily communication. Well, look, they had to release all that fury, all that anger, all that feeling. How did they do it? They would gather on Saturday nights in the sugarcane fields, hidden from the overseers, to dance bomba.

Welmo raps again. The sensation of taste, the touch of the fabric, and the sweat mingle together. Heartbeats quicken, a feverish temperature that healed him. Don't be silent, for if I am silent, I am not free. Calling and responding, resistance and audacity, even with the chains 24 hours a day. My voice travels actively, knowing that perhaps I will never see the light of day again. Drum, give me the essence of the sound of your soul. Drum, watch over my sleep with your sweet melody.

His drum sounds so that my whole house can hear it
His drum sounds, thus my soul and my heart rejoice
Alert, my people!
A runaway slave escapes
Down the mountain
Night and day
Escaping the hot iron that marked his life
He follows the sound of drums that his goddesses lead him with, guiding him while a prayer rises to the sky
The meeting that precedes the great escape is heard in songs, and at dawn our story arrives, feeding a memory that fights against the oblivion of its passage.

“I Am Free”
I am free, I am free
Free like the river that flows into the sea
Free are the words that leap from my mouth
Freely I decide and achieve what I want, and although my body may be bound
It is my mind that I elevate
Free is the air I breathe from the moment I am born
Until my last breath
Free like the soil of an island that expands
Free is my people, and they do not surrender in the face of bullets
Free, and I am free
Free, and I am free

Welmo E. Romero Joseph (n. 1993) fue un MC de hip hop que también es conocido por su activismo y sus valores de justicia social. En este clip él esta rapeando lo siguiente. Presuemiendo que mi gente se encuentre lista llega un cronista protagonista de una historiaque le rinde culto al ritmo el tambor y la cadencia dando esencia y vigencia a fuertes memorias reclamando un espacio al interior de una cultura que en ocasiones ha olvidado el espelendor de su negrura.

Welmo rapea lo siguiente: La sensación del gusto el roce de la tela y el sudor pasean juntos. Aumentan los latidos temperatura en fiebre que le curó. No se calle pues si callo no soy libre. Llamando y respuesta resistencia y osadía Aun con las cadenas 24 horas al día. Mi voz viaja activa sabiendo que quizás No vuelva a ver la luz del día. Tambor dame el ser del sonido de tu alma. Tambor cuida mi sueño con tu dulce melodía.

Coro
Palo e bandera varilla e catre conmigo no
Que tu tiene la cara larga como la mula del tendal
Y tu tiene las patas flacas como playero de la mar
Palo e bandera varilla e catre conmigo no tienes la cara larga como la mula del tendal tienes las patas flacas como playero de la mar
Y se aprende a tener respeto aprendeme a respetar no seas enredader a como playero de la mar

Suena su tambor pa' que se sientan toda mi casa
Suena su tambor que asi se alegra mi alma y mi corazón
Alerta mi raza
Se escapa un cimarrón
Monte abajo
Noche y dia
Escapando del hierro caliente que marcó su vida
Sigue el sonido de tambores que los llevan sus diosas lo guia mientras al cielo una oración se eleva
La reunian que precede la gran fuga se oye en cantos y en la madrugada llega nuestra historia que alimienta una memoria que lucha contra a el olvido de su paso pega
1:34:42
Soy libre, soy libre, libre como el río que en el mar desemboca
Libre las palabras que saltan de mi boca
Libre decido y alcanzo, lo que quiero y aunque presto esté mi cuerpo
Es mi mente la que elevo
Libre es el aire que respiro desde el momento en que nazco, hasta el último suspiro
Libre como el suelo de una isla que se expande
Libre es mi pueblo y ante balas no se rinde
Libre, y soy libre
Libre, y soy libre
