Calipso music is in Jamaica, not in Puerto Rico.

Based on the vehicles this would be late 1970’s.

I thought the same thing until I saw in one of the shots from Old San Juan a 1980-83 Mitsubishi Champ Hatchback

they made lots of money; didn't want to become a state , and pay taxes...
now they're broke; want to be a state , so they can declare bankruptcy.. 😂

Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States. The US Congress, and only them, have the power to grant Puerto Rico, their independence. As a colony, their power to decide for themselves a better economic future, is hindered. Your "they made lots of money" comment, it's just not true.
Read a book before you make such an ass out of yourself.
