We Are Bermuda

With @gombey_warriors and the @citytowncrierbda on hand, the City of Hamilton last night unveiled Hamilton’s, and indeed Bermuda’s, newest iconic landmark to coincide with the first Harbour Night of the 2023 season! 👏🎉 @citylifebda @leadxdesign @keeonm

The most captivating and infectious sound and beat there is! Gombey dancers reflect the very unique, and distinctly Bermudian, blend of African, British, and Caribbean confluence of cultures. Gombey troupes, as they are known, generally consist of between 10-30 dancers, mostly all male, and each troupe’s costumes are slightly different. During slavery, those enslaved were allowed to dress and dance on Boxing Day, the only day in the calendar year they were permitted to exercise any ounce of their culture. The costume consists of a peacock feather headdress, a painted mask, bells, tassels, and a whip (carried by the captain of the troupe, and meant to mock slave masters). The very word gombey, as well, comes from an African dialect meaning ‘rhythm,’ and indeed there is nothing as incredible as dancing to the beat of this fascinatingly beautiful, despite its dark origins, form of music and cultural expression. 🎥:@jemappellejeff #berm #bermuda #bermudas #gotobermuda #bermudagombeys #gombeys #gombeysbermuda #bermudaculture #gombeytroupe #tuckerstownbermuda #rosewoodtuckerspoint #tuckerspointbermuda #bermudahistory - #WeAreBermuda
