BombaYo emerges from the streets and schoolyards of the Bronx, where salsa and hip hop were born. Under the direction of Jose L. Ortiz aka Dr. Drum and Melinda Gonzalez, this group of teens brings youthful energy to a centuries old Afro Puerto Rican music and dance tradition. BombaYo starts from within. At the core is a connection to the soul, where drum and dance become one. African inspired call and response singing complete the synergy. Beyond the appeal of a performance, they create an inviting and engaging experience. In the spirit of Sankofa, BombaYo draws from the bomba tradition to enrich their lives and embrace their cultural legacy.
In a short time, the group had been invited to perform at schools, youth conferences and Latino Heritage Month events across NYC, National Women's Heart Day at Madison Sq Garden's Expo Center, and an off Broadway performance. The group has shared their musical talents at sweet sixteens, funerals and other social gatherings.
