Bermuda Royal Gazette - Gombeys flying to Essex for the Goat's final game
The Gombeys:
The Gombeys - Bermuda's Pied Pipers
The Gombey dancers are a tradition that formed when the slaves were brought from Africa and the West Indies. The word "Gombey" is derived from an African word meaning rhythm, and the dance itself is part West African, Caribbean and American Indian.
The dance was born originally to be performed only on Boxing Day (December 26) and New Year's Day, when slaves were granted a brief rest. The musical accompaniment is usually a kettle drum and two snare drums, covered with goat skin, and a beer bottle fife, which produces the sound of a flute crossed with a whistle.
The Gombey dancers perform in the streets on Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and after important events such as soccer matches where they dance through the crowd on the pitch. Bermudians and tourists alike, dance in the street following behind the Gombeys for miles and miles, as they play their hypnotic-like beat.
