the primarily Hispanic-derived jíbaro
music, the Afro-Puerto Rican bomba
Bomba

Puertorriqueña" as performed at the Nuyorican Cafe in
Puerto Rico here

1800 plantation slaves were cultivating a music and dance
genre called bomba.
Plena
Around 1900 plena emerged as a humble
proletarian folk genre in the lower-class, largely
Afro-Puerto Rican urban neighborhoods in San
Juan, Ponce, and elsewhere
The bolero originally derived from Cuba, but by
the 1920s-30s it was being not only enjoyed but
also composed and performed by Puerto Ricans,
including such outstanding figures as Rafael
Hernández and Pedro Flores.
Guaracha and Salsa
Salsa is another genre whose form derived from
the CubanPuerto Rican melding of genre,
especially Cuban dance music of the 1950s—but
which in the 1960s-70s became an international
genre, cultivated with special zeal and excellence
