Isabela, Puerto Rico
Later That Night
Pamela received a text message while enjoying the bomba dancers. She quickly glanced at the message but continued watching. The lead female dancer was holding onto her traditional white skirt with both hands, thrusting her arms in a series of unique gestures based upon her spiritual connection with the Afro-Puerto Rican music. The drummer synchronized his beats on his barrile following the dancer’s gestures. The lead female sang a chorus about a love triangle while the other two singers responded in turn. Pamela, however, was not well-versed in Spanish to understand the intricacies of the song’s storyline. She was so enthralled with the rhythm of the dancers and the drums she almost forgot about the text message.
