Bomba Libert? was founded in 2011 by San Diego bomberas/os who have been studying and practicing bomba throughout the last decade. Through performances and workshops honoring this centuries-old tradition, this group aims to educate about Afro-Puerto Rican history and culture while also learning about links between culture, artistry and personal expression. The word Libert? is a french creole word for "liberty." "Bomba Libert?" refers to the way that bomba has and continues to be used as a way to liberate ourselves from historical and daily struggles. It also calls upon a shared history with other Afro-Caribe?os, reminding us of how music and dance travel with the bodies that move across diaspora. To practice bomba in California is a daily reminder of this process. Presented by The Center for World Music.
