Limited Edition Series - 2025
There is a confidence that emanates from the Bamboula dance. A language spoken in the hips that messages “do not be fooled by my dance of joy because if I swivel my hip in the other direction this joy will turn into defiance”.
This woman is strong and resilient because she loves her family but when her back is not against the wall, she can also be soft and playful.
Historical note: September 1892, Queen Coziah led a coal workers strike 200 bamboula dancers.
Lyrics from Bamboula song: “Ah went to the shop with a quart to buy 15-cent thing, When ah look in meh hand Dem shopkeeper gimme tally for change, Roll, Isabella, roll, Roll (beat) the drums! Call the people to action!
