/Sounds like "bem" (as in "bembo") + "beh"/
A party or celebration with music, dancing, and Afro-Caribbean roots. In Cuba and Puerto Rico, a "bembé" is any gathering where there's rumba, drums, and good vibes. It originally referred to Santería religious ceremonies with drumming and dancing, but nowadays it's used for any lively party with that Caribbean energy.
"El bembé de anoche estuvo brutal, no paramos de bailar. -> Last night's party was insane, we didn't stop dancing."
"¿Vamos al bembé que están armando en casa de Raúl? -> Are we going to the party they're throwing at Raúl's place?"
