HISTORY & BACKGROUND

Puerto Rico (officially the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de
Puerto Rico, lit. "Associated Free State of Puerto
Rico"), is an unincorporated United States territory
located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. It is an
archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto
Rico and a number of smaller islands as Mona,
Culebra, and Vieques. The capital and most
populous municipality is San Juan. The territory
does not observe daylight saving time, and its
official languages are Spanish, which is
predominant, and English.[14] The island's
population is approximately 3.5 million. Puerto
Rico's rich history, tropical climate, diverse natural
scenery, renowned traditional cuisine, and
attractive tax incentives make it a popular
destination for visitors from around the world
BOMBA y PLENA
Are percussion-driven musical traditions from Puerto Rico that move people to dance. Often mentioned
together as though they were a single musical style, both reflect the African heritage of Puerto Rico, but
there are basic distinctions between them in rhythm, instrumentation, and lyrics. You can hear the
difference in these songs. In "Baila, Julia Loíza" the drums or barriles are lower pitched and form a
different rhythmic accompaniment than the pandereta drums in the plena example, "Báilala hasta las
dos.”

SALSATON
A sub-genre of reggaeton, that is a mix of salsa and reggaeton. It primarily started with
Andy Montanez's album Salsaton-Salsa Con Reggaeton.
Andy Montanez & Daddy Yankee-Sabor A Melao (salsaton album)
Ismael Miranda y Andy Montañez y Cheka - Se Fue Y Me Dejo

APPLICATION OF ZUMBA® FORMULA

As with other Zumba® rhythms, Bomba Y Plena has the same structure like regular songs (Intro, Chorus,
Verse, Bridge, Breaks). What makes it possible to apply the Core Step, Variations and Combinations to a
specific part of the song with cues and progressions with enough repetitions. We also can use the Core
Steps from Salsa, Merengue, and Cumbia for these rhythms.
