Abstract

This paper proposes a community music therapy intervention model in which the Afro-descendant musical genre of bomba is used as a tool to measure and contribute to the development of identity during adolescence. By integrating bomba into the music therapy session, the aim is to improve the adolescent's vision of him/herself. This therapy model proposes to impact a home for young women, victims of violence and abuse between the ages of 12 and 18, living in government custody. Using music corresponding to a specific cultural context is expected to address aspects of identity covering cognitive, social, emotional, physiological and musical areas. This proposal is also intended to generate interest in music therapists for the study of all musical genres developed in Puerto Rico, which allows them to gain alternative and additional musical resources to ser ve different communities in the country. In addition, this session model opens a space for Music Therapy to continue exploring and studying the relevance of the use of folk music in community music therapy in our current historical context.
