Bumping And Grinding Has A Surprisingly Long History
Whether you’re slow winding in the West Indies or bumping and grinding in the US, the moves are straight out of Africa. It was first recorded on this side of the Atlantic in plantation Juke Joints (from the Gullah word “jook”) and called The Slow Drag. The Slow Drag was so popular that it was the first African-American dance to appear on Broadway in the 1929 play Harlem.
