Bomba Dance with a Baby Wrap

Wrapped up in a Barefoot Rainbow wrap while dancing barefoot with the Bomba drum.

Bomba is a traditional Puerto Rican dance derived from the island’s African, Spanish, and Taino cultural influences.  The dance is named for the drums – bombas – which follow the improvisation of the dancers in an energetic dialogue as the drummer responds to the gestures, moves, and swirling skirts of the dancer:

The earthy rainbow wrap Asia and Esmé are wearing is called Barefoot Rainbow and is a Wrap Your Baby exclusive design handwoven in Guatemala by one of Girasol’s weavers.
