Puerto Rico - Bomba, Diaspora Negra 3ra Parte 15 de Agosto 2009

Bomba is a music and dance form born in the sugar plantations of Puerto Rico over three hundred years ago.

@SebastianQuinsella I feel sorry for you, trying to be so condescending, yet sound like an idiot,

as per the facts ... if you were counting boricua's through out the world...well do the math... 3.8 in Puerto Rico, 3.5 in the US, and another 1 million throughout the world, that's more than ur 5 million,

as per the dances, if u were a TRUE boricua, u will know there are no WHITE dances, our heritage is spanish, indian & african, i agree with EVAUZC, there's NO COLORS involved, y r u so ignorant?

[Salsonica]

@EVAUZC te apoyo en tu comentario, mi papa es puertorriqueño, mi mama es gringa y vivi toda mi vida en EEUU y ahora hace un año vivo en Puerto Rico. Mi papa tuvo la cultura y tradiciones viva en mi familia desde pequeño y somos de una familia pudiente, pero no quiere decir que nos da el derecho de insultar y faltarle el respeto a las demas personas, pienso que lo q dice Sebastian esta fuera de base y lleno de ignorancia, para no ser del ghetto se comporta como tal, que mal le va y tan amargado!

[SebastianQuinsella]

@EVAUZC...so you can have Black dances from slave days,but NOT any White dances.Hypocrisy much? Baba afro-centrica tipica del puto "boricua".

I LIVE in Puerto Rico! Not in your ghetto rat-hole in the precious"Bay Area",so go take your "show" to the Castro where it will blend in with the freak show.

You DO NOT speak for 5 MILLION REAL Puerto Ricans. We've had enough of your cultural hi-jacking, asquerosa.

What of the music of Quatro?

The Canary Islander?

The Corsicans?

Too White for you?

[SebastianQuinsella]

when will you do the folk dances of the whites in Puerto Rico?
