JJ Tiziou has brought this dynamic project to Philly, exploring the art form of dance among the city's residents. I am a huge fan of JJ's work, and of dance, so please, if you dig it, support this project by donating on Kick Starter.

Bomba y Plena
Check out this colorful animation celebrating the Puerto Rican dance styles of Bomba y Plena - I really love these dances, and the call & response communication between dancer & drummer - That prompt interpretation of rhythm, translating movement into sound, is so fascinating to watch. I need to add bomba and plena to my list of dances to learn... I better get started soon, because the list is growing mighty long: So far we've got soukous, dancehall, samba, axe, all of the Orisha dances, rumba, cumbia ... You get the picture - lots of drumming & hip swaying! <3>
