¡Mi Gente! Let’s celebrate Afro-Puerto Rican Black History, honoring the rich culture of the Caribbean, Central and South America, and the Afro-Latino community! 🇵🇷✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Rafael Cepeda Atiles, known as “The Patriarch of Bomba and Plena,” was the head of the legendary Cepeda family, internationally recognized for preserving and sharing Afro-Puerto Rican folk music.

Born into a family that passed down the traditions of Bomba and Plena through generations, Cepeda kept these cultural rhythms alive. Bomba, with its powerful music, dance, and beats, was brought to Puerto Rico by West African enslaved people. Plena, another vibrant folkloric music style with African roots, also holds a special place in Puerto Rican culture. Fun fact: Cepeda was born while his mother, Leonor, was dancing Bomba!
