"Bomba en la Playa" 2021 Original oil painting by Lena del Sol Langaigne

This listing is for my painting titled “Bomba en la Playa” completed in July 2021.

This piece was inspired by the fluidity and powerful storytelling element of dance. The musical tradition of bomba y plena has origins in West Africa and was brought to Puerto Rico in the early 17th century by West African slaves.

The songs and rhythms of bomba y plena were a form of spiritual and political expression to convey a sense of anger and sadness about their condition, while simultaneously serving as a form of healing and unity by using the art of dance to create community and identity.
