Bembe de Plena - Part of Bomba Plena Dance Series

[IWAVESeasy]

la plena es cultura puertorriqueña puñeetaaa...

[jajaLaindia777]

I love this!!!!!!

[yaya2019]

eso es plena y bailan super bien 

[MsMckenzie123]

The upper body needs to move more fluently, softer; skirt being flailed (jerked) around too much and not flowing like the waves of the ocean

[trumpetvine66]

mUSIC IS EXCELLENT...PLENA LIBRE IS AN EXCELLENT GROUP BUT THESE DANCERS NEED TO LEARN FROM THE ONES IN PUERTO RICO....GOOD TRY BUT SHE IS MISSING THE UPPER BODY MOVES AND MOVING TOO MUCH ON THE BOTTOM....THAT IS NOT HOW THEY DANCE PLENA IN PUERTO RICO...LOVELY COSTUMES AND GOOD TRY.....

[MsCescobar]

Fantastico, thank you very much for a beautiful presentation. I was born and raised in PR and will you believe never saw a PLENA dancing demo. I guess it was not the thing to do when I was growing up. Pa'riba my gente, love this video and will be sending it to all my other compatriotas that miss the island and all that it has to offer. Love you, thanks again for educating me on the beautiful dances of our island.

[Bubsy812]

Esto me llena orgullo.Gracias mil.

[mika000000000000000]

pas mal!

[carapo66]

Nice. I'm from Trinidad, the southern Caribbean. The spirit of African music really does flow through each and every island in the chain. This video reminds me of the traditional dances we have here, even the lady's dress is similar to the dance costumes used. Thanks for this.

[nanacooleo]

great job! where did she get her skirt? or how did she make it? im having a hard time finding a skirt thats wide like that. can someone help me?! please

[funnyjani]

if you live in the US , i think its a little hard to find. im not sure cause i dont live there. Its sort of hard to find in Puerto Rico but there are certain stores that sell these kinds of puerto rican things. not sure where in the US though..

[loizadejesus]

To get a proper bomba or plena costume in the states you usually have to get it custom made. If there's a bomba/plena dance group in you area they can probably give you contact info for the costume maker.

[nanacooleo]

thanks. i want to get one made, but i haven't heard of any bomba/plena groups over here. :(

[loizadejesus]

Most cities with major Puerto Rican populations have bomba/plena groups. I know Chicago, Orlando, New York, Boston, Hartford, and New Haven all have at least one group in addition to the numerous groups in Puerto Rico. You might want to try one of them and seeing if you can have the dress shipped to you.

If you're looking for a skirt just for practice, you can a large sheet and either sew in an elastic waist or tie it at the waist.

[linatatt]

theres a group called ataybe and im a primo player

[Itagirl7]

Lovely. Very skillful.

[edlaksmi]

good dancing!

[chicanospecialforces]

Beautiful stuff--as someone trying to learn the basics of plena, I'd like to have seen their feet a little more--but beautiful all the same.

The Bomba has approx. 28 variations and its roots go back to africas west coast. La Familia Cepeda are the maximum exponents and purists you will ever find.Masters at the bomba.
