Rule, Rule, Rule Sonda

Dance along with Hermanos Ayala as you meet bomba….

“Rule Sonda,” is a Puerto Rican bomba — music in which drumming and dancing are very closely connected, and in which the dancers generally usually lead the drummers rather than the other way around. Puerto Rican communities with strong ties to Africa developed bomba, with its energizing drumming and dancing, in the 17th and 18th centuries, giving enslaved Africans a medium to express both their struggles and triumphs through song. In this video Hermanos Ayala will make sure you dance.
