The Rich Musical Heritage of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has a vibrant artistic culture and musical heritage that has often been overlooked in mainstream narratives. Prominent figures like Bad Bunny, who originated from a small town in Puerto Rico, illustrate how the island's creative output has shaped popular culture globally. The variety of artists born and raised in Puerto Rico contributes significantly to the cultural fabric of the United States, showcasing their impact through impressive sales figures and large audiences in venues like Madison Square Garden. This rich history has been distorted by caricatures in media, which fail to capture the true essence of Puerto Rican contributions to music and the arts.
