Muy bueno 👍👍👍

We are very proud of our African roots. ❤️

Our African roots and Taino roots should never be forgotten, we are all connected.

@@jenniffermarie3508 you were already there

We love our African and Taino roots. To me, it is the greatest joy there is. As a Bomba dancer, I can say that it makes me feel confident, beautiful, better connected to my roots, and free.

We love and value our African roots like no other, we wear our pride high of our ancestors

Afro Latino culture as a whole is underrepresented in the media. African Americans in US media of course is nothing new. Even if much of it is controversial.

Lmao yet treating Black people like crap so much so they cannot earn a proper education 😂 Get real.

@Grace CIBELLI "Appropriate Latin identity "? Why do yall always follow what Black people do? Yall are so unoriginal!

On what television? ¿En la de Puerto Rico?

Remember that the idea is to keep this a secret, unfortunately. I'm very proud of my African ancestry.

It is more than influence. Our ancestors came from Africa. We are African.

They are from Congo not west Africa

Us, Caribbean Latinos, have pride and represent our African heritage, Americans represent for clout.

Yes!!!!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Beautifully said 💙

Es verdad. Después de mi padre se mudó a los Estados Unidos, no quiso enseñarme español y solo me enseñó un poquito sobre nuestra cultura y tradiciones. He tenido que enseñarme mucho a mí mismo. Espero poder vivir en Puerto Rico en el futuro

America doesn’t reject anything. When you come here, you need to have the correct politics in your mind THEN your culture. Culture is beautiful but politics is what keeps us going.

Coment by Carmencita: That is not true, I never saw that kind of attitude there.

It doesn't matter where in Latin America you are, maybe the steps are different but the feeling is all the same

african music is not rock all our music are traditional and have meaning behind them

That’s slavery for you..

@@rebeccam.7249 Nobody asked you what you thought. And brasil use similar drums african americans use in their samba

Nobody gives a f*ck.

Community???? The whole island love our african heritage, its incrusted in our culture. Even the reggueton beat is african. It doesnt even matter what skin color anyone has, there gonna sing the BOMBA Y PLENA

Search right here in KZfaq for the SanSebastian festivities, youre in for a shock

Mimi Sylver-Francis so true its a beautiful feeling to be blessed with the knowledge of your culture this is why I surround myself with as much of my African roots as possible from the way I dress to my home decor its important for the spirit

Beautiful words Mimi, love then!🙏

@Nina Aden i minority might not. But thats it, a minority.

Respect from Philly

I'm also from Chicago and Puerto Rican!

💯

😍😍

Yep! And outsiders don't get it. I hate it when outsiders tell Black or Brown people to forget the past and move on. Okay! So were supposed to forget our history & identity? My culture, my identity & my ancestors has helped me heal. I think the fuck not. I had to check a lady on that yesterday. No mam! Ill never forget the past. I'll never deny my ancestors and the struggles they endured for me & our people.

I’m black but brown skin I’m not Hispanic but idk why I feel soo closely connected to Hispanic culture like if that’s part of my culture but Latino culture really has strong roots lol

I love Puerto Rico so much.

So many different people are hidden in this. African Taino Libertos Spaniard. I think it's time we accept the diffusion of it all to make us all one people from many lands.

They were fromhere

@@NylaSostre We need to connect with our heritage, example the Canarian Ancestry from the Canaries.

am proud to be african

@@rebeccam.7249 your not

Hola mailene bravo

thank you kindly

Year before last I had my DNA analysis done by two companies; both show DNA from Congo.

these in Latin America are from central Africa especially Congo, equatorial Guinea Gabon and Angola

Tainos are Native Caribbeans Tribes... Hindu are from India.

@BeetleBUMxX People dont understand that Hindues take that as an offense. That was a despiteful way to call them of 'that kind'... and we accept it. Totally wrong! Hindues are unique, they should never be compared to any other Native tribes and/or civilization.

Plena is not from Africa...it's native from Boriken..Its roots are Taino (indigenous) ..go find plena in Africa, you will never find it. Go find Bomba and you will.

@Grace CIBELLI just enjoy our culture and relax add some sazón to your life it will make it better it's only one shot that we get in life dance sing enjoy your self God loves us all.

@@carlosleon8076 LOL, and some sazón😂😂😂, you got that, but let him know, it has to be GOYA, porque si es goya!!,,,,,,,😁🙏

What are they called?!

That's true. I'm a Yoruba and it is similar to our Bata dance.

Many slaves that ended up in Puerto Rico came from the Yoruba tribe among others.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

Many slaves that went to the island were from the Yoruba, Igbo and some Mandingo y Woloof tribes.

am from Africa and i don't know this type of dance or which country in africa it came from

From West Africa specifically Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, GA or Ewe tribe from Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic, Cameroon and Mende tribe in Sierra Leone. All these tribes are descendants from OYO empire of Yoruba tribe which extends to different part if West Africa. Some Yorubas tribes are in Gabon, Ivory Coast etc

much Rico! 🔥

@Your thoughts Not mine Yeah it's an African dance, but kid it's an African dance that is expressed by Puerto Ricans in the island. It would eventually evolve by grabbing different elements from the different backgrounds in the island, incorporating them and would later become known as la bomba puertorriqueña and it is one of the traditional dances of the island along with la plena, which is another dance and was influenced by la bomba. The dance is apart of the culture in the island and that's one of the things that makes the island what it is. Real Boricuas aren't worried about skin color cause they know that at the end of the day our ancestors are just the same as our neighbors' whether that be if they came from Africa, Spain, Borikén, etc. We recognize the differences of how each Puerto Rican looks when we come in contact with one another or we see on tv, but that doesn't change a single thought in our mind about that person cause we know we are all children of la isla de Borikén. Those that do think negatively on their own because of color are not helping the island. So if you're rican, regardless of color, and you want to dance la bomba, no one in the island is gonna tell you that you can't, they will be more than happy if you were to reconnect to your roots than ignore them and most importantly, respect and understand the meaning behind la bomba.

CofresíBravo. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@Your thoughts Not mine i dont know if you've noticed but ..... SKIN COLOR DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO RESPECTING A BEAUTIFUL CULTURE HUN :)

It’s not “African and Puerto Rican” it’s Puerto Rican because our culture IS synonym to African , Taino and forcibly Spanish.

@@Pocketdekuwu that's SO true! Mainly due to colonizations, and the slave trade. But there's such life that has persevered,and still lives to this day☺️😊

@@biglikebuu excuse me, but where in ALL of this are you finding ANYTHING "nasty"? Because, READ these comments and replies, there's nothing but APPRECIATION, TRUTHS and LOVE for Puerto Rico, and Culture. If there really is something "nasty", point it out for us, please. Because from what I have READ, there's nothing "nasty". So, please take down your comment, if you can't say anything nice, or positive AT ALL.

@@biglikebuu what happened? Because I was just basing my comment on the comments of this thread. I didn't deep dive into anyone's channel. Was there something I got wrong?

Thank you for keeping the culture alive by educating the next generation. Mahalo.

Your not American if you don't have atleast one American parent. So please stop claiming being American. It doesn't matter where you were born it's your genetics.

Love and respect between Haiti and PR.

@@blueraintvrelaxingsounds1810 I think you are mistaking indigenous people or First Nations Native Americans with being an “American” as in a citizen of the United States of America. If he was born in the United States, he IS a citizen therefore an American and since his ethnicity is Haitian, he’s indeed a Haitian American.

@ilimari Girl, please. She's not mistaking anything. He's a citizen of America, but he is not American. The original Americans are the Natives and Black Americans because our people were brought here over 500 years ago. But all of these people that are moving here willingly or their Families moving here from other Countries are NOT AMERICAN!!!!! They are Citizens of this country. YALL Foreigners always Claiming America . If you have parents who can be deported and needed paperwork to live on this land you are not American. If your parents gave birth to you in China 🇨🇳 it will not make you Chinese DUH 🙄. He's a Hatian who was born in America. I'm Black American 🇺🇸and Cuban 🇨🇺 and Native American of if i was Born in Japan that won't make me Japanese, lol 😆 all he had to say was he was born in America. Haitians were dropped off In Haiti also so are they not the originals of haiti. This is why the Dominican Republic is Kicking the hatians out because they are claiming to be Dominican/ Hispanic because their people migrated there and they were born there, that would make them a Citizen it doesnt change their DNA Girl GTFOH!!!!

@@mizzbellasofly did you actually said “you all foreigners”? 😂😂😂😂 oh the ignorance 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ first of all, I’m Puerto Rican. We are not foreigners and we can’t be deported. Puerto Rico has US citizenship since 1917, anyone born in the island is a US Citizen and American. Got it?😉Secondly, Native Americans are the INDIGENOUS people who lived here in the AMERICAS before the European AND AFRICANS arrived. Black Americans are NOT Native Americans, you all are mostly the descendants of the slaves that came from AFRICA. Being here for 500 years doesn’t turn black Americans into indigenous from Americas’ first nations. According to your logic, then the Europeans are also Native Americans because they arrived to the Americas way before you all were brought here! You do can claim Native American ancestry or heritage if you do a DNA test and have indigenous DNA, though, because some of the slaves in the USA and Canada did mix with the indigenous people, but that doesn’t mean Black Americans are Native American because “they have been here for 500 years” 🥴. And let me give you another piece of knowledge: Central and South America, and The Caribbean Islands ARE PART OF THE AMERICAS. Being a Native American doesn’t only apply for indigenous in the USA, and there are still indigenous tribes in South America, in Mexico and in Canada, who are ACTUALLY Native Americans. And FYI, people from the Caribbean and Latin America have more Native American blood and heritage than maybe you. Why? Because our indigenous people actually mixed with the Spanish and the African, and that was the NORM, not just a minority like it happened in USA, Canada and Haiti. Contrary to the French and British, the Spaniards actually mixed with the indigenous and their heritage is still in our DNA, which is why we are called mixed or “mestizos”. Mexico and Peru for example, the average Mexican has 56% indigenous in their DNA, and in Peru, they have 45% indigenous in their DNA. And those statistics are for regular people who doesn’t belong to any indigenous tribe. We are all mostly mixed. And it happened the same in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Dominican Republic. The average Puerto Rican has between 15% and 20% Indigenous. Some even more than that depending on the region. I did the test and I got 21% Taino and my husband 26%. My great grandma was a Taina… Sorry but you are literally in no place to come here lecturing me about being a US citizen, being an American and actually having indigenous ancestry, you 🤡. Man I knew schools in the USA’s mainland doesn’t educate the kids that much in this matter but this was beyond pathetic, do yourself a favor and at least educate yourself through Google 🤦🏻‍♀️

@BeetleBUMxX Lol. You felt that comment was necessary. Hope you fill your time with meaningful things💕👍🏽

Thanks for sharing this amazing connection. Yes, we also spy Mar and Maria in The Mars Volta "Blacklight Shine." 🖤 🖤 🖤

I thought those were the whitest cities of Puerto Rico?

Hola desi

Indeed!

@Esteban A So true, being the daughter of a Dominicano, I am proud of every aspect of our DNA. That mixture is what makes us a beautiful people!

Well said hermano! As a boricua, I'm so proud of my african heritage! Esa parte africana es la que nos da el sabor!!!

The Drumming and the dances were left in puerto rico by our ancestors and sounds are also mixed with the Taino instruments of their dances. I was born and raised in puerto rico my mother's family are black puerto ricans the stories were passed on to us from our mother's to each generation in our family. don't know what latinos you have met every puerto rican I have met are proud of their roots.

@@nolbertojcales1186 thank you very well said can't stand when people comment with assumption. this is what I grew with I was born and raised in naguabo and my father was a musician of el cuatro bomba y plena and my mother is afro puerto rican and we learned the dances from her. I loved listening to my uncle's roast each other "Bomba" ay lelolai lelo lelolai

Hola beautiful

Gracias 🙏🏾✨💙
