Whether it’s a shoulder bop or a fully choreographed routine, the joy in dance is about freely owning your movements, and it’s an integral part of the Black experience. Black dances are always evolving. Across the country, each region has its own signature style, but each style stays true to the instinctual need to be expressive and jubilant.

Days later she heard the exact same rhythms while walking in town, beckoning her to the free community program where she would begin to study bomba.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movement and sound of bomba originates in the practices of West Africans brought to the Caribbean island by European colonizers as slaves in the 17th century, and over time absorbed influences from the Spanish as well as the region’s indigenous Taíno people. Slavery fueled sugar production and many other industries, and continued until 1873, when a law creating a gradual ban went into effect. Like other Afro-Caribbean cultural forms, bomba provided a source of political and spiritual expression for people who’d been forcibly uprooted from their homes, at times catalyzing rebellions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we have something to say to protest, we go out there and play bomba,” says Mar. “It is our way of saying ‘we are here.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://bit.ly/HowToBomba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Follow Mar Cruz in this how-to tutorial as she explains the foundations of bomba dance and goes over some basic steps or “piquetes”.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Puerto Rico’s center of black culture, Loíza, \u003ca href=\"https://remezcla.com/culture/puerto-rico-protests-loiza-george-floyd-black-lives-matter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bomba is at the heart of protests\u003c/a>. Since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, groups like \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/colectivoile/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colectivo Ilé\u003c/a> have shared their grief through the dance. “That death didn’t only affect the African American community but also \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/lUuvPF_r6jg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Afro-Puerto Rican community\u003c/a>,” says Mar. “People have always been racist towards us. They are finally willing to say, ‘That was a tragedy!’ But they are racist too. There used to be lynchings here too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new movement to assert black pride and to acknowledge the island’s complex history of racism is part of the resurgence of bomba, providing \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sebailabomba/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mar and her sister María\u003c/a>, along with many more Afro-Puerto Rican performers in both Puerto Rico and diaspora communities, a creative outlet to celebrate their oft-suppressed cultural heritage. “I’m representing my ancestors,” says María. “Those black slaves who danced in the past, that was their only method of self-expression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13884446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13884446 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Afro-Puerto Rican sisters Mar and María Cruz stand on a picturesque beach with palm trees near San Juan, Puerto Rico.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/06/Mar-Maria.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sisters Mar and María Cruz. \u003ccite>(Photo by Armando Aparicio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This episode of \u003cem>If Cities Could Dance\u003c/em> highlights the artists and communities committed to bomba in its many forms, inviting new meanings and political significance in the 21st century.

Days later she heard the exact same rhythms while walking in town, beckoning her to the free community program where she would begin to study bomba.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movement and sound of bomba originates in the practices of West Africans brought to the Caribbean island by European colonizers as slaves in the 17th century, and over time absorbed influences from the Spanish as well as the region’s indigenous Taíno people. Slavery fueled sugar production and many other industries, and continued until 1873, when a law creating a gradual ban went into effect. Like other Afro-Caribbean cultural forms, bomba provided a source of political and spiritual expression for people who’d been forcibly uprooted from their homes, at times catalyzing rebellions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we have something to say to protest, we go out there and play bomba,” says Mar. “It is our way of saying ‘we are here.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://bit.ly/HowToBomba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Follow Mar Cruz in this how-to tutorial as she explains the foundations of bomba dance and goes over some basic steps or “piquetes”.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
