| - Bomba or Bomba del Chota is an Afro-Ecuadorian music, dance and rum al form from the Chota Valley area of Ecuador in the province of Imbabura and Carchi. Its origins can be traced back to Africa via the middle passage and the use of African slave labor during the country's colonial period. Africans brought to labor as slaves in Ecuador brought with them this music form heavily influenced from the Bantu cultures of the Congo. The people dance in pairs to the drums and use improvisation to build relationships between the dancer and lead drummer. This music and dance tends to have a prominent Spanish, mestizo and indigenous influence in the melodies. It could go from a mid tempo to a very fast rhythm. It is usually played with guitars along with the main local instrument which is also called bomba which is a drum along with a guiro and sometimes bombos and bongos. A variation of it is la banda mocha which are groups that play bomba with a bombo, guiro and plant leaves to give melody. Recently it is enjoying some national exposure but outside the Chota Valley it is mostly popular in cities such as Quito and Ibarra which have important concentrations of afro-chotan people. In these cities sometimes it is played in discothèques and has some public performances as well as popularity among mestizo and indigenous people. The word bomba is most likely of Bantu origin. (en)
- La Bomba del Chota o Bomba Afroecuatoriana es un género musical afrodescendiente originario del Valle del Chota, Ecuador que se encuentra en los límites de las provincias de Imbabura y Carchi. Declarado Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial del país en 2020. Es un ritmo creado por la mayoritaria población afroecuatoriana de esa localidad. Usualmente se la toca con tambores junto con instrumentos de origen español o mestizo como son la guitarra, el requinto o el güiro. En ritmo y velocidad puede variar desde un tiempo ligero bailable hasta una intensidad veloz típica de muchos ritmos africanos o afroamericanos en donde destaca el ritmo y la percusión así como el movimiento de cadera y el bailar pegado en formas eróticas. Otra variación es la llamada Banda Mocha que en sus inicios estuvo compuesta por instrumentos rudimentarios como hojas de naranja, flautas, machetes, bombo y cornetas hechas de calabazo seco, además de puros, pencos, píenlas, etc. Es un ritmo que acompaña las fiestas diversas en el Valle del Chota y es muy escuchado especialmente en la Región Norte de Ecuador, desde Carchi, Imbabura hasta la ciudad de Quito donde existe una fuerte comunidad afro-choteña. En el resto del país tiene menos difusión aunque en tiempos recientes ya se lo puede escuchar en otras partes del país y es escuchado también por indígenas y mestizos. En La Concepción y Salinas, en la provincia de Carchi, el instrumento musical, el canto y el baile se llaman bomba y son manifestaciones culturales que confieren identidad a los afro-choteños, por lo tanto la Bomba del Chota es una manifestación dancística, poética, musical, tradicional de las comunidades afro descendientes de Carpuela y el Juncal en el Valle del Chota (es)
