Ecos De Borinquen - El Alma De Puerto Rico: Ja-Baro Tradition By Ecos De Borinquen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It's all about cultural roots On this record, the presence of the decima (a ballad-like song form often philosophical in nature) and the pasodoble (a fast Spanish dance that introduces a bull fight and the entrance of the bull fighters) reflects the cultural association of the majority Puerto Ricans to their Spanish colonial past. A plena (humorous, satirical song of the Inchcommon manInch) is distinctly Puerto Rican. A guaracha (an old-fashioned Afro-Cuban street dance) ties Puerto Ricans to their Afro-Caribbean heritage.
