Collection: Puerto Rican Folk
Puerto Rican Folk music is a vibrant and rhythmic genre that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the island. Rooted in traditional storytelling and community gatherings, this music style encompasses two primary sub-genres: Bomba Y Plena and Cuatro Puertorriqueno. Bomba Y Plena features African-influenced percussion and call-and-response vocals, often accompanied by energetic dance. Cuatro Puertorriqueno, on the other hand, showcases the island's iconic ten-stringed instrument, the cuatro, in melodic instrumental compositions. Both sub-genres blend Spanish, African, and indigenous Taíno influences, resulting in a unique sound that reflects Puerto Rico's diverse cultural tapestry. Whether performed at festive gatherings or intimate settings, Puerto Rican Folk music continues to captivate audiences with its infectious rhythms, passionate vocals, and intricate instrumentation.
