BMH--Bronx Music History
Fifty five years ago on November 12th, 1969, Miguel Angel "Mike" Amadeo bought Casa Hernandez from its owner, Victoria Hernandez, the sister of Puerto Rico's most noted composer, Rafael Hernandez. Mike renamed the store Casa Amadeo and still operates it today. It is the longest continually-run Latin music store in NYC. For this history it is on the National Register of Historic Places. Along with Casita Rincon Criollo, they are the only 2 places on the National Register that recognize Puerto Rican history on the mainland (and they are both in the Bronx!). Shout out to City Lore for writing those nominations! Felicidades to Mike Amadeo!
