Bomba is a conversation rather than a performance: the dancer leads and the lead drum has to follow, which is the opposite of nearly every other drum tradition. It was made by enslaved people on the sugar coast and kept alive in Loíza, the town with the deepest African roots on the island.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
