Alma Moyó: video by DennisFlores.com

[knickie1982]

it's called embracing Pan Africanism and understanding where ur culture comes from and beauty in it and not denying or running away from the fact that Africans influenced the world in a great way

[CF201]

knickie1982 the type of music alma moyo (black love)were playing in this video is name Ghombe known to many as Bomba. The style of bomba there playing comes primarily from Mayaguez on the west coast of PR. The last rythm of this footage is called "Holandes" which actually hails from Mayaguez. Bomba from the west coast is influenced more by Afro French Caribbean like Haiti, Francesca Tumba from Oriente Cuba and Gwak from Martinique. The south and north coast have a different style of Bomba.

nah, seriously, its all good man - nice to see that the mulatto puerto rican people are maintaining part of their culture. Good. I would love to find out more about latin culture

[gaou02]

mulato is an insult and please what is the other part of their culture ???

[unique5589]

The proper term is not Black. The proper term is African or West African. Black just gives a vague description of a person but doesn't tell of his/her culture.

Beautiful culture

Existe una relativa semejanza entr esta manifestacion cultural puertoriqueña y el tambor de costa central Venezolano, tambores en ritmos como el CUMACO (con curveta) y en SANGUEO.

El golpe de tambor en 4/4 es muy muy semejante.

Faltaria mas aporte del palitero, pero los coros y el respecto a la melodica del cantante principal y la medida en 4tos y 8vos de tiempo del maraqueo son muy semejantes.

A partir de 9:30 si es un poco mas diferente.

Muy instructivo.

Excelente sonido.

Buenas tomas

Alwaysclever,these people may not be black,but they have African in them,because their ancestors,were Spaniards that came to the Americas in the 16 century,and they brought many African slaves with them and intermarried with the African slaves.The resolt of that quickly developed a mixed race.Taino Arawak Indians of Puerto Rico,also had mixed with the Spaniards,and Africans.

[DTMVDUB]

It's called las Tres Razas "Blanca,Negra y Taina"...but we also have a little French, Dutch and British. Trivia tip: The Spanish wanted to keep Puerto Rico as white as possible, therefore they invited Spaniards from nearby islands and other Spanish speaking countries to move to Puerto Rico. While our race is mixed it is very fair. BTW...these people may not be black as in AfroAmerican black but they're black.

[alwaysclever]

those people ain't black!
