[@mannymanspiritandlove7329]

I'm so grateful for your videos Michael! No one teaches it like you, thank you brother.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much! I am glad that you enjoy my videos. I wish you all the best!!

[@faithmarie-r3r]

thanks mike...i've been learning and honing my 5 basic bomba rhythms for at least 5 years...when can i improvise or learn the PRIMO...??

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I've never been in Puerto Rico and that's a pity! I hope one day I'll go there. It's a beautiful island with very nice music!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome! I've never been in Puerto Rico, but I love your music! I hope one day I can visit your country and enjoy the music of Bomba and Plena!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Hi Nando, thank you for your comment! It is always nice to hear that this music and these video's are motivating others to start making this music! So thank you very much!! All the way from Rotterdam!

[@francisquiles9576]

it's such a shame on us from puerto rico, but a pride at the same time! i am a plena player and singer, and i'am learning the sister music of my plena from you. You are such a great theacher and a player! THANK YOU!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Hi Rico, In Holland we have a big salsa scene with all kind of specialized groups. We don't have a great, old, historical rhythm-tradition ourselves, so that's why we import all the styles from Cuba, Colombia, Puerto Rico ect. We do have some great bands here.

Michael.... awsome..!!!! Excellent all 3 videos of Bomba...

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Carlos Sanchez Thank you Carlos!!

[@gokumay40]

Well you need visit Ponce Loiza, Pin~ones PR, Etc. You get to hear bomba all over PR but the towns above are magical with their ritmo. I'm up from the Mountain town of Utuado and even thou it didnt originated form my town, the people there are always happy listening to the Bomba.

[@gokumay40]

Michael,, thank you so much for your videos. I've never played an type of instruments. You are motivating me to take that step and learn some of this wonderful music... Thanks again all the way from Kentucky!!!! Nando

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks man! I surely did some research and I was lucky to get some help from some Puerto rican friends!

[@latin-style]

[@tamborero88]

You write these rhythms in 2/4 and I do this in 8/4. Rare situation. Glad videos.

[@felixrivera442]

Wow. You surprised me man. Nice work. You sure did your research on bomba.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Well, I really hope that I can visit your country. The video's I see about PR are always great!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I would love to come to your island! Perhaps one I'll come and play with you all!!

[@Franzilla0405]

You should come and play with some bomba percussionists here on the island! Most people wouldn't expect a foreigner to know some many of the style's rhythms so well.

[@manuelydejesus8020]

Very useful!! Thanks! I'm definitely subscribing!!!

[@vramirez122000]

Michael, great video and very accurate information. I believe a Djembe produces a sound that is much closer to bomba barriles, so I find it unfortunate that you picked a tumbadora for the lessons. In any case, bomba barriles use goat skin, which is thinner than the skin used in the tumbadora, and allows the open slaps that are used in bomba instead of the "closed" slaps of rumba. Also, I was surprised that you did not include any bass tones in your interpretations of the rhythms as Holandé and Belén certainly use them.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks a lot!

[@gokumay40]

I was station with the US Army in Bremerhaven Germany back in the 80's. I'm proud of you and your love for the Bomba. Have you been in Puerto Rico and if yes, where?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Weel, I know that kind of people too, but luckily not everybody wants to keep the information for them selves. I live in Holland and I teach in Rotterdam.

[@rolandosp7216]

how do you play it in timbales? thanks for your videos

[@ricovery1]

Great Video Mike. As usual i learned a lot in relation to the hisory of the hollande. Hidalgo in one of his videos shoes the rythm but does not go into the history of the rythms like you do. again i commend you on your graet knowledge of what you teach... I thought Holland had a big Salsa Music following. "Rico Montalvo"

[@JCsalsa100]

Muchas Gracias por lo s Videos. Quizas tienes algunos ritmos afro dominicanos que no sean Merengue. Si lo tienes elaborado, porfavor publicalos.

[@ethnoprof]

I can appreciate the work that went into creating these videos and how useful they can be given the lack of good video material on bomba available (particularly in English). That said, I am a little concerned that much of the information, vocabulary, observations, and sometimes the text (word for word) matches the work that Salvador Ferreras did in his Ph.D. dissertation on the bomba. For example, "the yubá is performed throughout the island and is an important component of any ensemble’s repertoire" (p. 116). Did you use that source? If so, it would be good to acknowledge his work - particularly if, as Felipe Rivera points out, "tocadores de bomba" are not always willing to share information.

[@berimboy]

Fantastic, Michael, thank you! The Holandes obviously sounds a lot like plena, is this where the plena comes from?

[@felixrivera442]

You are lucky to have those friends. I personally know some "tocadores de Bomba" and they are very jelous to share what they know, specially the most experienced ones. Where do you teach Michael?

[@beltiboug]

"les roses" in guadeloupe is lewoz , it is a rythm in the gwo ka, roulé in Guadeloupe is woulé. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ-5oquBjpWlqZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoq0dWd_mt2XoJY
