[javiperz]

I love my culture.......100% Boricua. But please , please keep the island clean. Very disappointed the island is dug in garbage. Let's keep the island as a heaven........i love my country but i cannot do this by my self...........GOD BLESS PR

[Boriquenmamichula]

Where's this @, PR,Chgo,NY or FL?

[melody15100]

Where are the machetes???lol.jk. I miss you Puerto Rico.

[NaturalSchool80]

@thekingofmoney 2000 ...Thanks. I'm aware of Argentina's European population. They are descended from the Spanish, Italians, Germans, European Jews post WWII and other European nations.Anytime I've seen media/movies from Argentina it was these folks that were highlighted. Some time ago, I learned about Afro-Argentina. Look up the vids with Reggae singer Fidel Nadal and the vid titled: Argentina Negra.

[themenchosj]

right wing sucks the great roberto clemente.dr.jose celso barbosa,esteban dejesus,wilfredo benitez,tito trinidad,cesar fantauzzi,nestor cora,the list goes on and on and on, negros boricuas that put the island en la cima, they werent mixed with no american heritage trust me we wouldnt have this flavor ,unlike you that are ashamed of your heritage que viva la negrura boricua

[bigboize]

TO kingofnomomey2000 the word MOORS come from the greek adjective MAUROS which literally means BLACK or VERY DARK IN COLOR! the ROMANS would later adopt the word as a reference for the black skinned inhabitants they encountered in AFRICA. ANCIENT ROMANS called the region of northwest africa MAURETANIA. translated from LATIN as THE LAND OF THE BLACK SKINNED PEOPLE!

[bigboize]

then please explain how the moors conquered spain or beter yet how could they rule spain comming from africa? your history is screwed, stop using american books and use real history books from spain, spainiard libraries dont hide the truth.

and see what the spaniards said about the moor invasion, notice the words they use for the moors.

[bigboize]

these averages people are using dont add up, since some conquistadors are black and some are white. not all africans came as slaves, and most tainos married black men, history tells you that spanish men adored the black women, also before they came to puerto rico, spain was ruled by the moors of africa.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@bigboize you obviously don't know much about history...the moors were not black, and most ethic spaniards did not mix with the moors...if that were the case then many spaniards would look like puerto ricans, but ethnic spaniards do not...spaniards look no different then the Italians or the French, especially those in northern spain which look like an average white person...

[NaturalSchool80]

Another thing...I wish this beautiful music was recognized by mainstream latino media...Latin grammys and univision and all that...Why do they not display the beauty and greatness of Afro Latino culture? Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina have Afro Latino population and culture.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@NaturalSchool80 Argentina has a tiny black population, most Argentines are white of either Spanish or Italian ancestry as well as German and other northern european groups.

[chsn09]

@thekingofmoney2000 Argentina's black/Afrodescent population is more than 2 million!

[CrowdPleeza]

@NaturalSchool80

Does the Latin Grammys have a folk music category? I'd think this style of music would be viewed more as a folk music style.

[notecages25]

@CrowdPleeza unfortunately they don't, Juan Luis Guerra does folk music from dominican republic, maybe he can suggest something? I wish there was a way to get folk from different latin american countries into the latin grammy's, especially Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic because they play very raw and rhythmic drum based music. One day maybe.

[NaturalSchool80]

¡¡¡Tremendo ritmo!!! 

[chsn09]

Nice video! It is amazing how much us Caribbeanite/West Indians have in common! Caribbean pride world wide!!

[mpedraza90]

[LaMariposaSedosa]

Wow, are you mentally retarded. All Puerto Ricans have light skin? The Spanish gave Indians aids? niggaz, crackerz? I hope you are a dumb kid so you have an excuse for such ignorance.

[roseartpr]

What the hell?

Aids wasn't around back in those days.

[SexyMorenoPaTi]

You're right. It was actually Syphillis that Cristobal Colon and his people spread to the natives...

[roseartpr]

crackers don't apply to spaniards due to its an american word and either does niggaz apply to our afro people.and ricans come in all colors.Tainos didn't even know the word aids.

[pheonixltt]

[Donquenepa]

Ay bendito,la ignorancia e grande mi gente. Hermano pongase ha comer libro y educate antes de hacer comentarios sobre cualkier cultura, canto bruto. La Bomba es mas viejo kel viento, mucho mas ke el mambo. Atiende lotuyo papi.Nuestro orgullo lo kita NADIE. Que viva la BOMBA, PLENA y nuestra musica jibara!! ke con nada se compara,chacho aqui hay sabor suficiente pa repartir. Dios bendiga nuestra isla Borinquen!!

[datnyboi22]

[LAhoodlumCA]

bomba es wack!! la musica africana de cuba, eso si es mambo!

[trueknack]

seriously?? Even through music there is hate. Cabron PuertoRico Y Cuba so hermanos.

[trueknack]

Puerto Ricans=

+AFrican

+Taino

+Spanish(spain)

They are playing Sica

*Africaribe

[ConcepcionPR]

@trueknack Puerto Ricans are not just Spanish decent we have French, Italian, Swedish, Irish, and German roots also.

[Badguy260]

@trueknack and dominican and cuban imigrants

[princessjoy007]

@trueknack it seams common sense isn't so common... lol you fi pay dem no mind.... dyam idiot!!!!!

[KathyPLZ]

Boricuanino49, you are beyond ignorant and need to EDUCATE yourself on your own heritage. Goodness...I live in the U.S. and have to admit that MANY "Puerto Ricans" here do not know much FACTS about their own culture. Yes, bomba is a highly influenced music attributed by the Africans, but not ALL Puerto Ricans have high African descendance. We still enjoy and appreciate our African roots, however. Just as we appreciate the Taino and European attributions.

[joelhc85]

It was in Chicago!!! I met the guy with the maraca in Chicago last summer! That bomba_o was great!!! That was my first time in a bomba_o and I live in Puerto Rico... can you imagine?!Hahaha

[Boricuanino49]

a puerto rican from p.r. would tell you those people playing are white

[BLAKPEARL69]

why?

[Boricuanino49]

because puerto ricans in puerto rico who are african think that they are white

[bomba4u]

Oh man, that is as irrelevant a comment as ass hair in soup:)

[diddydum090]

NOT ALL..

[shine4live]

question are puerto ricans white???????

[dabx1]

no we are not. We are a mixture of European (Spain)

Native Taino tribes

Africans

[roseartpr]

That's bull, I guess you haven't been to the island...African roots are celebrated everyday especially for tourists.Go tell a real afro-boricua that in the island to see what he says.

[rhibac]

the two drummers are not but those blancos yes

[roseartpr]

jajaja..well they must be blind as hell...

[Peloskyman]

Loiza Aldea en la casa!!!

Boricuas!!!!!

[SexyMorenoPaTi]

This is funny... this is the second time people have caught me doing something for the VERY FIRST TIME in public, and they catch me on TAPE! First I was dancing... and now they've caught me (Quincy - AfriCaribe) messing around on the primo! I dont sound too bad... ;) LoL

[touggie2000]

YOu know what would be a good idea if puerto ricans would come out during caribbean festivals and make this genre famous.

[chsn09]

@touggie2000 I agree

[laBoricuaReina]

this wuh im talken bout,

afro boricuas all dayy niggaz!!

VIVA PUERTO RICO

[RightWingCon81]

Lovely, listen, stop embarrassing us with the use of vulgar language.

[LAhoodlumCA]

fuck you so pendejo, boricua niggahz en la casa tu maldita madre!

[RightWingCon81]

Cagate en tu puta negra madre chorizo.  Any amouunt of civilization on the island is due to MY ancestors and not yours you bare naked animals running around playing bongos.

[roseartpr]

Mera. canto sucio yo se que tu no estas hablando de los afro-boricua canto de cabron!!!

[RightWingCon81]

Mirate estupido ignorante, "mira" se escribe con I de punta no con E. Go chase a lion.

[roseartpr]

Oh, yes I know you write Mira with I not E..

[rhibac]

im surprised u didnt throw taino in there with it..

[diddydum090]

uhh dee dee dee maybe because the Bomba is mainly influenced by its AFRICAN ancestors..The taino influenced the puerti ricans in other music.

[rhibac]

which is what? the fact is most of pr is heavy african

[roseartpr]

mira, cabron

tu no eres Puertorriqueño y mi gente no hablan asi de los afro-boriucas..tu sera de otro pais..

[RightWingCon81]

Soy boricua, y de Mayaguez lo que no me gusta es cuando los BORICUAS actuan como negros de mierda.

[roseartpr]

no, todos actuan como blk americans..

[RightWingCon81]

el que yo insulte primero si

[junyto12]
