Bomba in Piñones, Puerto Rico

By Laura • May 16th, 2009

This is one of several videos that I will be posting from my trip to Puerto Rico in July 2008.

This clip features Bomba drummers and a dancer at the Centro Cultural y Ecoturístico, in Piñones.

COPI (a local non-profit) presents an Afro-Puertorrican music show (featuring Bomba and Plena!) at the center on the second and last Fridays of every month.

9:00pm. Free admission. Go!
