Bomba is more than
the beating of dancing drums
it is the awakening of our ancestors
the calling of spirits
the connection between
life and death
love and hate
esclavos sin cadenas
Bomba is organized chaos
it is raindrops on your rooftops
as the sun rises
el sabor in your arroz y habichuelas
the sweetness of plantains
Bomba is the laugh of your abuela
and la grita de tu madre
Bomba is a feeling
of light through dark nights
Bomba is healing
your past and present days
uniting both good and bad
Bomba is life
