World on my postcards

Bermuda music is quite rich with the traditional folk. Within this folk, the Gombey dance and music is the most popular one in the island compared to the other forms. Bermuda Gombey dance is the mixture of British, West African and indigenous new-world cultures. Gombey is quite similar to the dance traditions like Bahamian Goombay. It actually refers to a specific type of drums of African origin. Some also relate Gombay to a Bantu word standing for "rhythm". 

 Bermuda is located in North Atlantic Ocean. It is a British overseas territory and is situated east coast of the United States, south of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and northeast of Miami.  Bermuda gets its name from its founder, Juan de Bermudez. Bermuda was founded in 1505 and was settled in 1609 by Britain.
