Hope as is well.
So is there such a thing as quinto lock for Bomba? as like rumba (matanzas, gauaguanco, yambu what have you)They a
have established quinto lock"rides", and I did'nt really notice
that with bomba, though there is an underlining feel or expression of one, along with complimentary riffs and rolls etc..
And any recommendations on conjuntos, groups tht I can study for brushing up on bomba rythmn would be appreciated.
I have a Anthony Carillo cd that has a bomba tune, which is great.
Bomba bomba bombeeerrrrooooooo!!

In the bomba tradition of Puerto Rico, this is known as "piquete". The bailadores piden piquete to the Primo drummer. Check out Tata Cepeda and the late Luis Daniel "Chichito" Cepeda doing their thing on the video documentaries Raíces and Dancing the Drum.
