Bomba Sica question

Postby Thomas Altmann » Wed Oct 19, 2011 12:54 pm

Hi,

I have overheard that there is a middle (segundo) part between requinto and buleador in folkloric Bomba Sicá. What is this drum part called (if there is any), and what is the hand pattern and rhythm? I was thinking of something like:

B...O.O.

Does anybody know? Jorge G.?

Thank you Cuco & Niall,

That's exactly what I meant. I couldn't find my notes anymore, looked everywhere in the internet, and at YouTube I couldn't find anything but the 2-drum version. Unfortunately I forgot the source, too. I think this part is optional or, as you (Cuco) said, perhaps a more updated version.

There is a very big Bomba music community in New York city. Plenty of concerts, and clinics.
You just have to know the right people. Most came from the iland, and stayed in NY, brought their barriles, and roots with them, and kept it going.

New York is one of the most blessed states when it comes to Bomba music, and groups. It always has.
But Pleneros, and bomberos usually dont hang out with congeros as much, except the young Pleneros-Bomberos.
The real old Bomberos are really celosos with their tradition, and only believe in playing in the barriles.
There i also plenty of young new bomba groups forming in the East coast keepig the oriinal rythms, origina instruments passed down by families, of old Bomberos, such as the Ayala family.
Their is bomba music-summits competitions across the U.S
Specially in Chicago, there is a yearly summit, where bomba groups from all the U.S and P.R get together for a weekend, and compete.
and do concerts.

Nice clips posted by Leedy. The drummer/dancer interactions are great. Some of the NYC bomba players are also great rumberos, although there is a tendency to play either rumba or bomba at a given time rather than mixing them.

Sometimes (and this isnt very common) they will overlap rhthyms that are related so they complement each other
Ex: Yuba with a Corve. Bomba is not Rumba so usually only the primo improvises while the buleador plays the ritmo but on some occasions some interplay happens
Then again it may be a variant of a rhthym or a different rhthym that is related. Theres more than one way to do Yuba, sica, or Cuembe depending on region, style, and personal preference. Like Sica and Danue/Paule/Gracima/Bambule de Santurce...They all fall under the same tree.
Is there a specific site or video you heard this from that we can listen to
