El Kokobalé es un arte marcial puertorriqueño único que combina la música de bomba con la lucha con palos y la esgrima con machete, y que tiene sus raíces en las tradiciones africanas y taínas. Originario de los africanos esclavizados que adaptaron sus danzas guerreras a la bomba, se convirtió tanto en una forma de autodefensa como en un medio de resistencia cultural contra la opresión. Aunque el Kokobalé estuvo a punto de desaparecer en el siglo XX, puertorriqueños entregados a su causa lo están reviviendo y preservando, utilizando las redes sociales para compartir su historia y su práctica. Hoy es un poderoso tributo a la herencia africana de Puerto Rico, símbolo de resistencia, tradición y lucha permanente por la libertad.
