These Gombeys are dancing on Front Street In Bermuda, Gombeys are native to Bermuda and use drums and other simple instruments to make the dancing music.
The Gombey as you see in Bermuda is unique to us, however there are variations on other islands like the Bahamas, etc. Different name and similar dance styles and origins..remember slaves got sent all over various islands and they took their traditions with them..origins of course come from Africa, the Motherland
actually gombeys are unique to bermuda.. there may be similar dancers like the junkanoo dancers in bahamas but are they the same ? no..the gombeys are unique to bermuda so obviously they arent found anywhere else!!
@douterbridge i'm Bermudian and i know they have them in other carribean islands

Actually you are wrong, they are found elsewhere.. In St.Kitts, and they look, dress and dance just like the Gombey's...
