Southern Sessions by Bomba con Buya
Southern Sessions is Buya’s second release, and an homage to the ensemble’s southern Puerto Rican roots. The album features traditional and original songs with a special tribute to A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders. Passionate and timely, Southern Sessions embodies the band’s fiery yet soulful approach to Puerto Rico’s oldest musical tradition.

Bomba con Buya is a Chicago-based ensemble that aims to preserve and advance bomba. Developed during the 18th century among the island's African descendants, bomba is Puerto Rico's oldest surviving music and dance form. Buya means ‘good spirit’ in Taino, and the group strives to embody this idea.
