MIke, What's that instrument on the left? Looks like a Baritone uke but it sounds like a bass guitar! Tell us more about it. Thanks and regards from Puerto Rico.
If there's one thing we do have left as ricans in Hawaii is the music. The food and music have remained. Sadly, we have not done very well in other aspects of Hawaii's history. Too many of us in Prison, on welfare, or forgotten by Hawaii's powerbases altogether. Sad.
this what happens when a musical genre is preserved in isolation and then respected. sadly in Puerto Rico, the influences of other musical genres (good and bad) have been many, so we have had a difficult time preserving the past, but some have done so in PR. check out videos on"puerto rican cuatros" . these guys were great.
Tony Croatto would have been proud of you guys. You are playing even better than the Puertoricans that have been born and raised on the island so I give you all the credit you deserve. I am so impressed. Please let me know more information about you. have you cut any records? do you tour? who are you?? what is your story?? what is the history of the Hawaiian Puertoricans? Aha! Epa! toca ese guiro y pegale al cuero duro.
Its amazing that the culture is so powerful and overwhelmingly beautiful that it remains a part of these people even after all these years. It makes me sooooo proud to be a puertorican and to think....this country tries to bury our culture and make us ashamed of our roots. congratulations for keeping it real and keeping it alive. I love you Puerto rican cousins. Nunca sientan verguenza de ser boricuas. Orgullo pa siempre.
Balla son borcuas? Mi abuelo me contaba que muchos anos atras los americanios se llevaron un grupo grande de boricuas del pueblo de guanica a trabajar a hawaii. Mucho de mis familiares fueron, y nunca regersaron que interesante. Los felizito muy bien
