Puerto Rican MusicEarly musicAlthough it is customary in some circles to say that Puerto Rican music is a product of three cultural influences—Spanish, African, and Taino Indian

Puerto Rican folk music would comprise the primarily Hispanic-derived jíbaro music, the Afro-Puerto Rican bomba

BombaExternal audio You may listen to the "Bomba Puertorriqueña" as performed at the Nuyorican Cafe in Puerto Rico here

Historical references indicate that by the decades around 1800 plantation slaves were cultivating a music and dance genre called bomba.

PlenaAround 1900 plena emerged as a humble proletarian folk genre in the lower-class, largely Afro-Puerto Rican urban neighborhoods in San Juan, Ponce, and elsewhere

The bolero originally derived from Cuba, but by the 1920s-30s it was being not only enjoyed but also composed and performed by Puerto Ricans, including such outstanding figures as Rafael Hernández and Pedro Flores.

Guaracha and SalsaSalsa is another genre whose form derived from the Cuban\Puerto Rican melding of genre, especially Cuban dance music of the 1950s—but which in the 1960s-70s became an international genre, cultivated with special zeal and excellence in Puerto Rico
