It may look like "showing off" but if you hear bomba live, your heart starts beating like the drums... and the body follows hence the "showcase" between the drummer and the dancer. This is the music of the enslaved and oppressed... this is history.

I see that there is a lot of showing off in this genre...a sort of elitism, unlike in ancient or primitive drum cultures, where showing off was out of the question.

This song is being played in the Afro Puerto Rican genre called Bomba. The main object of the dance i s for the main drummer called Primo to execute in synch the steps of the dancer, there's is no showing off. If you were to know a little more about this music you would know that this is the way it's danced. this is Puerto Rico's true African legacy and tradition. Get to know it before you make such comments that seems a bit ignorant.

just an observation: black men generally look better bald-headed (nice and neat) than with nappy coarse hair.

The song is titled "A la linea" ('To the line'), it is a traditional Bomba (afro-Puerto Rican genre) tune from Puerto rico and is sung in the video by Norka Nadal, former member of YERBABUENA. The song was never recorded by Norka with YERBABUENA and has not been performed again by the band since she left the group.

I love this song so much; it's absolutely beautiful. It makes my Boricua blood dance, hehe! Yerbabuena needs to come out with a new CD already!
Do you know the name of it?

I didn't mean to reply so many times! It didn't seem as though my first message went through, so I typed another one (and now I'm adding another one!). Sorry about that.
