also various inns and hotels

bamboula, banboula, banbula, baboula - different spellings

bambula was/is the name of the drum and also the name of dance.
In a French source I read that one explanation was that drum was made of bambou with animal skin

also, a deviation of language, not sure if connected, but could be: French colonial troups used a word bamboula - some people say derived from Arabic- to mean fête, a party -

In French slang today : Bamboula means - a wild party with music and danse - other meaning - very derogatory term for people of African descent

bamboula: “vigorous style of dance”; from Banyun
bombulan and similar terms in other languages on the

The dances performed in Congo Square included large groups of slaves sometimes as large as 500 to 600 slaves. Many of the dances included circle type dancing, where people would enter and exit from the center of the ring. One of the more famous dances was the Bamboula. The smaller of the two drums was used for this dance and was called the banboula or baboula, maybe giving the dance its name. Along with the drums was clapping from the surrounding cirle and a call and response type of singing. This dance was one of savagery and wildness, with furious and frantic moves. The Bamboula was characterized by more group movement, as well.

Perhaps more famous than the Bamboula, was The Calenda. The Calenda was a favorite dance of all the West Indies. The dance is described as "a dance of multitude, a sort of vehement cotillion. The contortions of the encirling crowd were strange and terrible, the din was hideous." Onter dances connected with Congo Square were the Babouille, the Cata, the Counjaille, the Voudou, and the Congo.
