We had you on the show three years ago and got a little bit, believe it or not, of a glimpse into the story of Bomba and Bomba de Aqui.
But I love the story, Brenda Lisa, about how this, your grandfather and your grandmother were really a big part of preserving a tradition that could have vanished like so many other cultural traditions, so many other languages.
My grandfather, Rafael Cepeda, you know what? It's funny because it's kind of like how we met.
So it's like my grandfather met my grandmother through his journey, and they built a family of 12 kids.
And every time we go to schools, I'd be like, think of it like the Jackson 5, you know? And this beautiful tradition that our ancestors had left to us he knew the importance of not letting that go.
Everything, how he met his wife, my grandmother, their kids, talking to his elders, their names, what it meant, the rhythms, because there's more than five, six rhythms.
And documenting, and then as the family, my aunts and uncles grew older, they formed a group, Los Hermanos Cepeda.
