Bomba's renaissance dates from 1961, when a TV producer showed up in Loíza searching for residents who remembered the dance. In response, mask-maker Castor Ayala put together the Ballet Folklórico Hermanos Ayala, a folk-music and dance troupe that performs around the island and elsewhere in Latin America. The group has no headquarters, but you can get its schedule at Artesanías Castor Ayala.
