any Latin music Spain, Dominican, Brazil you know... more just the music not so much lyrics

[sgshaday]

@hiphopson Look around for "aguinaldos". Modesto Nieves is one of the best but there are many others. That's the Christmas music at Puerto Rico. Merry Christmas, and God bless you. Thanks for your interest in our music :)

[arocruz]

Lo verdaderamente importante es que estos chicos tienen la intencion de aprender nuestro instrumento nacional y lo lograran porque tienen mucha juventud y la habilidad, adelante chicos que van bien, los felicito......

[MrKevstro]

lol at the tourist.

sounds like when she doesn't understand things they say and just says "ok good"

XD

[doristcoqui59]

love it

[mullahi711]

gato motis ?

[prassassin6985]

No, it's GATO MONTES

[ilyboricua1]

i think they played well and my island is amazing so naw to you:)

[beforrealyea]

the one on the right is so cute

[HotlantaBoricua]

I think it is rediculous how many get on here and speak about the race of Puerto Rico...who cares? If you are Boricua you are Boricua and we come in all different colors and thats whats makes us an awesome people! If you have any doubt go back to school or go to college and take a diversity course! almost every country is multi racial diversed due to globalization...its just facts!

[cienanosdesoledad]

Esa no es la malaguena?

[biker1389]

What do all your comments have to do with the two guys playing the cuatro.Your comments show you ignorance

[primodori]

Do you have concrete proof of that? Because in reality the cuatro existed for 400 years in the island and there was no portuguese people in it; to be exact the cuatro si a variety of the spanish instrument "Vihuela".

[payazitopeewee27]

nice jobs guys

[Rayhid1956]

Gracias por este video. Soy dominicano y viv en Puerto Rico al cual considero mi segundo hogar. Puerto Rico, isla de encanto que Dios te bendiga siempre asi com a mis hermanos puertorriquenos.

[Alabadora1]

Vaya! Que lindo se ven esos chamaquitos mostrando su inteligencia y no en las calles vendiendo drogas y asaltando a la gente. ESO ES ORGULLO BORICUA!

[roz4jesus]

VIVA PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!

i'm so proud to be a puerto rican girl!!! :D

[caralgapla]

Esperaba que tocaran algo boricua, no un pasodoble de la madre patria....

[Black16Star]

The puertorrican cuatro is our national instrument. It's not a guitar it's a puertorrican cuatro it has 5 double strings... ok 10 strings. The guitar has 6 strings. Also the tuning is diferent, the cuatro is more like a bass. ORGULLO BORICUA!!

[jakinymaximan]

noel...he's goin to his 10thsemester at the cuartel de ballaja.they r my friends but daniel is a bully!

[aannaammaa]

[ergejtorohguinegen]

I guess in puerta ricaa there are many racists... that makes me don't wanna get there,,, I thinik colombia is ok

[Garc1993]

Racists?

[jamaro65]

Puerto Rico has the same racism problem like the rest of the AMERICA... Including the United States... so... Is an attitude to be change!

Sorry if you had some setbacks in my island or with some of my compatriots, but there are bad people even in Mongolia.

[TheChocoloco95]

no african culture is a BIG BIG BIG part of puerto rican culture there is african influence on almost every thing we eat in our music and dance. salsa bomba arroz con gandules mofong thats all african

[Raidalyz]

[ThEsKuLlZcHiCk]

[XheroMT]

[jamaro65]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEPAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!­!

[Selena963963]

I'm from Puerto Rico!! I miss my family their.

[killuminati43]

Some even more Puerto rican than the ones who take pride in being Puerto rican. Tony croatto an Italian loved Puerto rico and its culture. He sang jibaro music (the beautifull folklore music of puerto rico) that is becoming extinct because so called Puerto ricans arent keeping it alive.

[sgshaday]

@killuminati43 Mira cabeza de puerco ignorante. Hay gente preguntando por esta musica aquí mismo y en un montón de sitios en la internet. No está extinta. Se ha expandido. Hallá tú si no la escuchas, pero sí se escucha.

[antonioc842000]

Oh yeah whats up with all the dominicans going to P.R. anyway, my family is from bayamon and they be pissed about that shit.

[killuminati43]

Now dominicans are a diffrent story. Their culture is not Puerto rican and they would never be able to absorb or contribute anything to our culture. Now you ask whats up with the dominicans? I tell you whats up, their bananna republic is in ruins, and they are looking for someplace to leech. Now what better place then Puerto rico where their inhabitants dont give a rats ass about their culture. Dominicans should be deported and should not be allowed to enter puerto rico in droves.But no 1 cares

[metropolitana3]

Killuminati43 stop that rasist garbage..Im Puerto Rican and i say Dominicans are welcom in PR anytime...your probably a desendent from england, russia,german or somtin...u aint A tru Boricua..Espero que hables espanol?

[sgshaday]

@killuminati43 You should be deported. El trabajo que tú no haces, ellos lo hacen y sin quejarse.

[BoricuaLilG]

P.R is only bad in some parts, Im from Caguas and P.R is the best!

[antonioc842000]

What is this shit we got one person saying they got asian ancestors so now evey puerto rican got them to, wrong yo just deal with it real puerto ricans are taino, spanish, and african or a combination of at least two and if you got none of those sorry you just a fool that lives on the Island not boricua.

[killuminati43]

You really are retarted. Im ashamed to call my self boricua everytime i see or hear "puerto ricans" like you acting or saying something purely retarted. Who are you to say what the puerto rican ancestory is composed of? The Puerto Ricans are born on the island, and their spirit is boricua: culture, language, and customs. Now Puerto ricans ancestory is diverse. Althought the three main components are spanish, taino and african MANY diffrent european groups have settle in puerto rico...

[killuminati43]

What the hell is up with this board?? Debating over chinese immigration. Yes there was chinese immigration to Puerto rico during the 18th, 19th century. They blended in with the Puerto rican culture just like the irish, italians, germans, corcicans, french and other europeans who also immigrated to the Island. Although they are in the racial makeup, they didnt penetrate the Culture. Only the three main groups (Spanish, Taino, and African).Worry about the new wave of immigrants, those dominis.

[yvell]

We have a Corsican colony. The rest of the immigrants did not formed colonies, but blended in the culture. Nowadays, we have the colony of the Asturianos from Spain. The Barrio Arabe en Rio Piedras is another immigrant colony.

[killuminati43]

Yes i know but all these immigrant groups, whether they are german, french, spanish, corsican, jewish are Puerto Ricans and see themselves as such. Although i feel sorry for places like santurce, rio piedras, bayamon etc etc. Most of the dominicans immigrants live there.

[metropolitana3]

lol u freakin crack me up u sound like me back then lol

[kilosofhair]

Killuminai43 why are you being so hateful towards Dominicans? I feel sorry for you for being so stupid to hate another person just because they come from a different place and live in your country! Deal with it!

[MyUnfamous]

@killuminati43 Bueno, una de las razones porque nosotros arrastramos la "R" es por los sefalditas que vinieron al país. Asi q son 4 o pueden ser mas.

[lyriclacarta]

u guys r dumb der wuz a fuckin chinese immigration to puerto rico

im fuckin PR and sad to say der wuz lmaoooo go look it up on google dumb fucksChinese were the first people to arrive in Puerto Rico by large numbers during the 19th century after the United States Congress passed the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act

u guys r fuckin dum to fight over dis anyway, and to b wron

[carmelo1966]

Punk no one is saying theres no chinese in Puerto Rico, what we are saying is CHINESE DO NOT COMPOSE THE PUERTO RICAN RACE, what fuking part u dont understand. you need to fuking read, immigration is another topic what form the Boricua race stupid ass. did u study in Puerto Rico? cause if u did you will know what iam talking about.

[littleangelicpuff]

my grandma is from san juan

[check999999]

Alright so I'm Greek and whenever I wear a little too much makeup or shine my non-greek friends always say I look Puertorican. Im not sterotyping here but the most Puertoricans iv'e seen are just sparkaly. Now i though into this and did notice alot of Greek people I know do look alittle Latin or Puertorican. And the other thing is i'm always mixing up Purtoricans and Greeks. So fellow Greeks and PuertoRicans do you think we look alike?

[KathyPLZ]

Puerto Ricans are a mixture of the EUROPEAN RACE, AFRICAN RACE, ASIAN RACE, and TAINOS. Im Puerto Rican and have blonde hair, white skin, blue/greenish eyes. There's no specific way to look Puerto Rican.

[carmelo1966]

Where the hell you get Asian race mix with Boricuas, Thats an insult to me. We are not mix with Asians maybe now but not what they teach in school. Spanish,Tainos,African equals Puerto Ricans.

[KathyPLZ]

Typical IGNORANT "Puerto Rican" from the U.S. First off, the Spaniards weren't the ONLY Europeans to come to Puerto Rico. There was also a lot of French,Italian, Irish,etc. Next off, yes, there was a huge CHINESE(asian) immigration to Puerto Rico too. These immigrations weren't in the 21st century, 20th century, they were far before that. Thus, some Puerto Ricans have Asian descent in them too. Si te ofendes, es porque no sabes tres carajos de tu propia cultura.

[carmelo1966]

Mira canto de loca, First of all I know about my culture,And because I live in the States desn't mean I don't know shit about it. Typical pueto Rican like me knows very well that Asian are not Part of our culture. Darling every culture Identified themselves thru Music,food and looks, when in the hell Boricuas eat fried rice with beans or Alcapurrias on lobster sauce tell me,the only freakin song with a theme of asian music is ojitos chinos from el Gran Combo. Give me a freakin break!

[carmelo1966]

Oh and by the way where I can found some Beans foo yong I'm going next year to Puerto Rico an would like to try some LMAO!

[luisnitro91]

first of all don't learn how to spell cause you look very smart, second doesn't matter if you wore born in U.S you still Puertorican. yo nasi en U.S y me siento 100% boricua de corazon no seas ignorante mijo sin no fuera por Puerto Rico tu no estuvieras aqui.

[carmelo1966]

Wtf you are talking about? If you dont know how to keep a subject dont write nonsense. we are not talking anbout if you were born in U.S.A. or in Puerto rico we are talking about what makes a Boricua. so go and eat a Bagel with cream cheese. and btw I'm not smart and I was born in Puerto Rico, so yo soy mas Boricua que tu 110% and proud.

[KathyPLZ]

You're ignorant. Just because you don't see much potrayal of Asian culture in the music,food,etc., doesn't mean that there wasn't an Asian immigration. READ BOOKS ABOUT THE DARN IMMIGRATIONS THAT OCCURED IN PUERTO RICO. Pero ya, ya me canse de discutir con un ignorante que ni sabe tres carajos de su cultura, mas que arroz con gandules y reggaeton. I am no longer going to reply to your comments, it's quite useless.

[carmelo1966]

Mira so anormal go to U.S Census from 2000 IT SAYS RIGHT THERE ASIAN ONLY ARE 0.02 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION DO SOME RESEARCH AND KEEP THAT DIRTY MOUTH SHUT, ASS. anyways before you try to agregate any race to us Boricua read first. you are just like my ex wife that believe any freaking thing they hear.

[RDpapichulo]

only, .6 is a lot for a small island

[sgshaday]

@carmelo1966 I agree with some of your stuff... But... your ranting explains the ex-wife... I'm sorry...

[carmelo1966]

Oh wait now you say imigration of asians. why you change now. You just said it imigrants, that doesn't mean they are part of the puertrican race get it straight.

[carmelo1966]

Bro I never said there was not chinese Imigration to the Island, what I responded to Her was that The Puertoriqueno is compose of Taino,Spanish and African thats the bottom line. not that stupidity of hers saying that chinese is an integral part of the Puertorriqueno race, now you guys are the Ignorants that are defending some stupid comment by that lady. Defend the truth doesnt matter if you were born in N.Y. or Puerto Rico.

[killuminati43]

Doesnt matter if you were born in N.y or Puerto Rico. OH yes it does, being that Puerto rican is a nationality not a race, if you are born in the States, and dont speak the language or know the culture. What do you have to be so proud about and what makes you puerto rican. Nuyoricans are the ones who have given puerto Ricans the bad name. Then nuyoricans go to Puerto rico and spread that ghetto filth they learn from New york.

[antonioc842000]

I aint from New York but how you think all those puerto ricans got there from P.R. and on the real P.R. is more dangerous then New York.

[sgshaday]

@killuminati43 If Tony Croatto were alive ah? He was even more Puerto Rican than you, troll. Rest in peace Tony. killuminati43, people like you are the ones that give us the bad name. So shut up. The so called Nuyoricans (an insult to my eyes), they have no shame to say they are Puerto Ricans and know their country and love it and miss it and dream with it more than you could.

[MyUnfamous]

@killuminati43 true, true...

[luisnitro91]

your confusing Hawaii culture with the Puertorican culture is like  carmelo1966 said Taino, African and Spanish from Spain we got no Asian mixture here girl.

[GogoYobari]

have you guys ever heard of pangea? that was how asians got on the island many many years ago...just like in america with the native americans, they are descended from asians...you guys really don't know geography and history...

[luisnitro91]

Your talking about Hawaii dude, back in the 1930 and early 1940's they had puertoricans and japanese people working in Cane field in the Hawaii Islands. Puerto Rico is not descendant of Asian people look it up before you spill the beans to your self. Puertoricans are descendant of Spain, Africa and Indio Taino. Orgullo boricua :)

[sgshaday]

@luisnitro91 Oh yes we do. It's nothing big, but we do. And we sort of did... Genetics, if you go back through Spain, you'll see something in genetics. Read about it, very interesting.

[antonioc842000]

Asian last time I checked aint nobody fucking asian in my familia. par carajo con esta loca.

[killuminati43]

Omg, its so called "Puerto Ricans" like you who give us Puerto Ricans a bad name. My goodness if you want to talk learn the history of Puerto rico ok. Chinese people were brought as servants. And there is a lot of Puerto ricans without African, or taino ancestory, doesnt mean those races dont exist in Puerto rico. Just because your Familia dont have chinese ancestors doesnt mean there wasnt some chinese immigration to Puerto Rico.

[MyUnfamous]

@killuminati43 There are chinese, but thats like a 3% of the island, or less.

[carmelo1966]

Iam with you Brother.

[jamaro65]

Carmelo, yes .... There is Chinese blood in the veins of some Puerto Rican .... They should be proud of it! We have accepted and they have integrated with us. They are hard workers, even newcomers... nice people. In my family there Iberian blood, but I feel more proud of my mix in Puerto Rico ... where there are good and bad people .... as in all other countries.

[PoliticalGuy22]

you have to remember that we Puerto Ricans come in MANY shades and colors because we are so mixed, some have more of the African roots while other have more of the European roots in their look, most of my family looks Native American which of course is because we are Taino too, there is no way to answer your question because unlike many other races Puerto Ricans are really mixed in looks which is why we are so unique IMO.

[GogoYobari]

you guys are stubborn,ignorant people. tainos are descendents of asians that is where most or even all native americans come from. many many years ago asians descended upon what we call the americas through migration when the continents were all joined together (pangea; you guys should look it up). if you guys have learned about the geography and demography you would have all known this. i don't get why you guys are so scared of being partially asian. seriously what the hell is wrong you guys?

[GogoYobari]

not only chinese people come from asia. india is a part of asia. Asia includes India which is the country where most indians if not all indians come from!!!! Look at a map and figure it out. Idiots!

[airsjc]
