I just love my culture, although I was born and raised in Buffalo New York I used to always talk to my grandmother she was telling me about the culture, now my grandmother is from Spain she moved to Puerto Rico at a young age and quickly adjusted to the culture I love you and miss you and thank you for all the wonderful stories of Puerto Rico
Well so sad to tell you that we are a disappearing culture since wealthy white Yankees are gentrifying and displacing Puerto Rican families out of Puerto Rico so they can stay with our paradise.

Not Tainos but Boricuas from the island of Boriken. Taino was given to the indigenous by the colonizers. I am not what the colonizers gave to me. I reclaim my origins my roots and my culture.
John said what the blackest dude in the video wouldn't say (he could have said "originally it was created, by the Africans who came here enslaved, but the Europeans/Spaniards and other groups, added a little twist to it decades later").
Careful with the Taino erasure there, our people were enslaved with, resisted, and survived alongside our African population who shared in our pain and persecution. There is no liberation in the Caribbean without the liberation of the African diaspora, our struggles are intertwined.
@@AwkwardFemme I am not erasing it but technically you're less Taino and more European and African. You're not south or central American where in some of those countries outside of Brazil people are White, indigenous and then African depending on the region. Taino is a small part of the culture actually if you know modern history (people are trying to grab on to it because they think it's cool, but more than half don't know what a Powwow is and only believe being indigenous is wearing long hair and a couple pieces of turquoise).
@dr.migueltorrezedd8651 I would look into it more because not only do you clearly not understand the history of the Caribbean, but you're also arguing blood quantum which is a tool of eugenics that white supremacy regularly wields to sow discord and delegitimize liberation movements, and that doesn't bode well for anyone who is interested in dismantling white supremacist power structures.
Ive seen these guys live a bunch theyre amazing! I do wanna point out tho to recognize igbo, yoruba, and kalinago as well as taino! I used to make this mistake too! Its ok just we gotta help eachother by continuing to talk about all this, the gag laws everything! Can't be letting ourselves or our cousins get erased!

He is Puerto Rican he is mixed and he is from the caserio in Puerto Rico but he did move from the island, also reggaeton is a genre created by Puerto Ricans as well, what you don’t like about bad bunny is his lyrics which is a separate issue and yes I’m from puerto rico

The indigenous people of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico (Taíno) are descendants of Venezuelan indigenous people (Arahuacos). Such a beautiful island with such beautiful culture.
Latin Music forms Son, Salsa, Samba, Merengue, Bachata, Rumba, Mambo, Cumbia, Champeta, BOMBA-PLENA, Soukas-Sebene, Cha Cha Cha, Tango, Pachanga, Tropicalia, Zouk, Carioca Timba, Tropicalia, and of course Reggaeton--all enjoy well documented African roots coupled with undeniable African influence---whether directly or indirectly. Facts that most latinos and hispanics continue to downplay, deny and avoid.
Ok the Spanish Empire, and the American Spanish war, that could be WW1.. and WW2 is Japan and Germany ancient history lessons. The American troop invasion of Puerto Rico 1898s I got my straight (A's) and (S+) history lesson 😍 it's all started with Christopher Columbus. 1400s and the Spanish Empire 1500s and 1600s 1700s and 1800s it's the Spanish Empire had end it, the American won the war ended the Spanish empire.

@@MightyMind137 meaning the blackest dude in the video was scared to say it came from the Africans, and he was so quick to mention the Taino's (you have to watch how people act and what they do).

Love this. Such a beautiful place.
Love my culture and to be able to learn more about it thru videos like this is a blessing 🇵🇷🙏🏼
Appreciate this documentary...
So beautiful. Thank you!
Mr Cepeda he was my teacher of bomba and plena the best 🇵🇷
Yep! A liar. He had to dig dió into his own Colombian culture to learn about his heritage. Still annoying of him pretending to be a Puerto Rican.

In Desantises world these slaves benefited by being able to play these bongos. Sad man
The closest to the drums they are playing is la conga. Bongo are little percussions you hold between your knees, for example, in Salsa.

He said that it was a mixture of Africans and taino, so I don't see where there was a denial. Take your victim mindset race baiting somewhere else.
