If I am not mistaken, that pattern is a close variation of what Victor Emmanuelli showed me as the Sica from Cataño but within Bomba folks we are still making educated guesses about info and traditions that may be extinct. In the meantime using what little valuable info that was passed down by some individuals and families like the Ayalas, Cepedas, Emmanuellis, and students thereof. Bomba just needs two barriles (food or liquor barrel with goat skin heads), sometimes sticks, maraca, guiro or a guira, but a lead singer, voices to do the response and dancers just as important. Bombazos can last hours and usually all the more experienced folk rotate on the instruments, mic and dance floor to keep the energy and vibe going as long as possible. Sorry to flood the comments below but there is alot of misinfo and i couldn't miss the chance, in case some of your fans want to do more research than the crappy videos that are on youtube...i don't profess to be a master but an avid student and friend of masters and other such students. Love and peace. If you want more info I can point you in the direction of folks in the US and PR for lessons or questions. Best thing is to go see or study it in Puerto Rico or with some of the master's in the U.S. for yourself!
GI S Thank you!!! The history of bomba is so vast and mysterious... which makes it even more valuable and beautiful... Coco is a friend of mine (one of the videos you showed) and he was actually seen playing in one of the clips in the video... and trust it’s a must message to spread to the world and something me and him both discussed about over the weekend... it’s needed! Hopefully... in the future... I can make a docuseries on these folkloric rhythms from different perspectives from masters and students... it’s a message that can never get lost! I appreciate the info! Love it!
@@APercussionLife I know you mentioned learning from Paolie's LP Tutorial and "Master" Pedro Barreira's youtube videos but did u also learn from Coco or anyone else in person? Sorry to get so defensive my DMV brother, Hermano de Tambor and La Fe...there is so much confusion and misinformation within our own folk that I get a lil touchy especially since the term Master has lost its respect. Btw the pattern is also very similar and know to some as Guembe or Cuembe in Cataño...holler. Dios te bendiga!
Yo Eric... It's all good,I myself have picked up bombs classes,and I am learning the ritmos on congas..this little tidbit came in handy.. One question, where you get your conga skins.? They have a unique sound.kerp up the tutorials.Thanks and be safe.
Just watched fantastic 🎉. I’m working with kids in an after school program and they are going to be introduced to drumming. I hope I will be able to get the instructor to add Bomba to the lesson . I’ll keep watching so I can practice the dance.
Brooooo!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for this video! Glad you were able to come out and appreciate the plug for the band! As always you always bringing the heat! Hope see you again soon!
Eric!!! Te la comistes brother , wow bomba , as a kid growing up in the island ,my father used to take us to Loiza Aldea to their festivals . Everything on it , the musicians, drums ,requinteo ,the dancing , the people the food ,just been there. Amazing memories . Thanks .Saludos from California
Bomba is so fun! Enjoyed this pattern so thank you Eric this is great can use it in deep house lounge, latin,jazz,salsa,reggae oh yeah has wonderful genre abilities!
Wepaaaa BOMBAA graciasssss por haber hecho un tutorial tan brutal sobre este bello ritmo de nosotros. Hay tantas variaciones de la bomba puertorriqueña pero hiciste una tremenda interpretación del ritmo sicá. Por si acaso vas hacer otro video, pudieras incluir unos otros ritmos como yubá, holandé, el seis corrido (mi favorito), hoyo mulá, y el cüembé por nombrar unos pocos. He aprendido bastante de tus tutoriales y espero que sigas adelante mi hermano! Bendiciones!
Hi Eric, I finally hit that subscribe button! Love your videos. It helps a lot and offers great inspiration. I'm just afraid not to have enough time to study them all. ;) keep up the good job from Brussels
Saludos Eric, Love it Thanks for that beautiful bomba rhythum. If people don't play these rhythum we will lose them we have already lost some. Thanks to some people who have documented them so we can hear and learn them. Thanks again for making this video.
My tired eyes read Bamba, and I was all excited to hear some Son Jarocho with congas... but darn is Bomba pure 🔥, all you need is to start playing this and people will come, a party will start.
Bomba is beautiful stuff once you learn the basic patterns you can split them up anyway you like and put little bridges in between them and also try it all on Cajon and djembe that's what my take on this stuff so once again 1000 thanks for sharing your great playing with everyone Eric love you my brother I wish that we lived on the same planet God keep you and yours stay safe in this crazy covid world xox
Sir I am an amateur played from India. I would love to know the difference between Cha cha Guaracha Salsa Mambo Because I find them very similar sounding. Though I read about their history a bit, but the rhythms are confusing me.
Maestroooo!!! como estas? it's been a while ,hope all is well with the fam. i took a class on bomba after this video.I'try to make a video playing bomba not like this ,but regular on conga,pesar que fuiste criticado un poco por ensenar algo que no es tu cultura..i followed your lead and tried it.video will follow. gracias por todo y que godbless you always. to paraphrase a great teacher " esto esta encendiooooo"
Maestroooo..I've been looking for this video for the longest..as a beginner drummer,I've learned bbadic Bomba playing congas..Tratare de hacer in video para que me corrija y me de some tips...Keep it " Encendióóó " ..thanks .
Eric this is freaking awesome Bro! Gracias por hacer este video y traer un poquito de la isla para que la gente sepa! Anyway great video especially trying to break down Paoli Mejias bomba pattern, not an easy feat Bro! Anyway bomba Sica is the most used when mixing it up with salsa and other rhythms. There are other patterns like Jayden stated on his comments earlier, the "barriles" are Buliador and Primo or Subidor or Primo. Although the Subidor is tune high so when the player is following the dancer's movements, it will break through the Buliador's sound which usually will have more than one playing. Anyway Bro great vid like always and I'm sure Paoli would approve of this big time!
Damn it, man! I thought A Percussion Life finally had some tees for sale. like that. It might be time to support the channel like that. You know, make some loot for yourself. Just throwing that out there.
Hi Eric, Love your videos and find you to be a good instructor. I'm not Latino but enjoy your videos just the same. Would be nice if you could do a video where you can apply beats to hip hop and R&B. Thanks. LaGracia
respect on your playing abilities but I would suggest you talk less and gojng into the teaching immediately. it took 10 minutes for you to start the lesson. which only left 6 minutes left of the video. thank you.

Puya is a metal band that put in practice those bomba rhythms.
PUYA is and was waaaay ahead of their times... their music is extremely advanced in a good way.
Just watched fantastic 🎉. I’m working with kids in an after school program and they are going to be introduced to drumming. I hope I will be able to get the instructor to add Bomba to the lesson . I’ll keep watching so I can practice the dance.
