Bomba-Plena is an Afro-Puerto Rican rhythm played traditionally on Barrel drums. This rich sound emerged out of a mix of African and Spanish cultures and was a very important form of expression against the system of slavery and a form of spiritual strength. Bomba dancers were typoical during important social or community events. This particular rhythm and dance is a faction of the Bomba style called Yuba, and Anaizo is a Taino word meaning grain.
