Danny Rivera (born February 28, 1945) is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter who was born in San Juan whose career spans nearly 50 years. He is well-known in Puerto Rico for his political activism.[citation needed] In the 1970s, Rivera had such hits as Jesucristo from Brazilian Roberto Carlos, Mi Viejo (My Old Man) from Argentinian Piero and Vecino, Dame la Mano (Neighbor, Give me Your Hand) from Puertorrican actor/composer Samuel Molina. Another of his hits at those times was "Mi Pueblo" (My People). This song went so deep into the hearts of "His People" that a group of youngsters at the San Juan Airport sung "Mi Pueblo" to him on one of his arrivals from Venezuela. Rivera sported an afro then, and he became one of the first male public figures in Puerto Rico to wear an earring. The hair and the one earring became the trademark of Danny Rivera for many years. During the 1980s, he relocated to Cayey. In 1988, he married model Alexandra Malagon, whom he later divorced. In 2001, Rivera was arrested and incarcerated for one month in a federal prison for trespassing on the military campgrounds at Vieques. He was one of the most outspoken and recognizable anti-military protesters at the height of national protests. His prison diary and poems were published in a book titled "Enamorado de la Paz" ("In Love with Peace") in 2002. He has shared the stage with Julio Iglesias, Will Smith and Plácido Domingo, and he has headlined at the Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall in New ...

From the 1966 Verve album "El Sonido Nuevo" Callen Radcliffe Tjader, Jr. aka Cal Tjader (July 16, 1925May 5, 1982) was a grammy award winning Latin jazz musician, though he also explored various other jazz idioms. Unlike other American jazz musicians who experimented with the music from Cuba, the Caribbean, and Latin America, he never abandoned it, performing it until his death. Tjader primarily played the vibraphone. He was also accomplished on the drums, bongos, congas, timpani, and the piano. He worked with numerous musicians from several cultures. He is often linked to the development of Latin rock and acid jazz. Although fusing jazz with Latin music is often categorized as "Latin jazz" (or, earlier, "Afro-Cuban jazz"), Tjader's output swung freely between both styles. Eddie Palmieri (born December 15, 1936), is a Grammy Award winning Puerto Rican pianist, bandleader and musician, best known for combining jazz piano and instrumental solos with Latin rhythms.

Félix Manuel Rodríguez Capó (January 1, 1922-December 18, 1989), better known as Bobby Capó, was an internationally known singer and songwriter from Puerto Rico. He usually combined ballads with classical music, Puerto Rican folk elements and even Andalusian music, as to produce many memorable Latino pop songs which featured elaborate, dramatic lyrics. Capó was born in Coamo, one of Puerto Rico's oldest settlements, located in the Island's south quadrant. After earning a strong reputation as a likable, versatile singer, he adopted his stage name (Rodriguez is one of Puerto Rico's most common surnames, and he opted to use his mother's less common one instead) and emigrated to the city of New York, early in the 1940s. He then joined Xavier Cugat's orchestra. From that moment on, he went on to become an idol all over Latin America. Capó was a polifacetic entertainer. Apart from singing, he was also a television host, as well as technical and musical director. However, his somewhat intimate songs are what Capó was -and is- best known for. Capó was a prolific song writer and wrote for many of his contemporaries. Many of the songs he wrote were smash hits in Puerto Rico, and occasionally in the rest of Latin America. One of his self-penned songs was El Negro Bembón ("The Big-Lipped Black Guy") a song not meant to be a derogatory song, since it half-humorously denounced the racial killing of an Afro-Puerto Rican (in a country whose racial relations, while sometimes acrimonious ...

One of Puerto Ricos greatest composers and musicians, Don Tomás Maso Rivera was born on 13 November 1927, in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico. Rivera was a child music prodigy who went on to compose over 1000 instrumental compositions for the cuatro, among which he treasured the danzas A mi madre and Flor de Oriente. The waltz Peregrinos de la Paz was also one of this favorites. The legendary master of the Puerto Rican cuatro constructed his first guitar at age 9. He created other innovative designs of string instruments, which he later used in his performances and recordings. His most popular creation was a cuatro he assembled with the addition of a baseball bat given to him by the late Hall of Fame baseball star, Puerto Rican Roberto Clemente, upon Clementes untimely death in a plane crash. He called the instrument bate cuatro (bat cuatro). When drafted into the US Army during World War II, the young Rivera packed his cuatro in his duffle bag to play for his fellow soldiers. After his tour of duty with the army, he toured the world as a goodwill ambassador for Puerto Ricos folkloric music. Rivera dedicated most of his life to preserving the cultural beauty of his homeland. His music contributions were primarily in the fields of jibaro music and other typical genres from Puerto Rican, yet he also interpreted with equal dexterity, most of the other Afro-Caribbean and Latin American genres popular in the last few decades.

Félix Manuel Rodríguez Capó (January 1, 1922-December 18, 1989), better known as Bobby Capó, was an internationally known singer and songwriter from Puerto Rico. He usually combined ballads with classical music, Puerto Rican folk elements and even Andalusian music, as to produce many memorable Latino pop songs which featured elaborate, dramatic lyrics. Capó was born in Coamo, one of Puerto Rico's oldest settlements, located in the Island's south quadrant. After earning a strong reputation as a likable, versatile singer, he adopted his stage name (Rodriguez is one of Puerto Rico's most common surnames, and he opted to use his mother's less common one instead) and emigrated to the city of New York, early in the 1940s. He then joined Xavier Cugat's orchestra. From that moment on, he went on to become an idol all over Latin America. Capó was a polifacetic entertainer.

For more music and information on Tito Matos, please visit: www.folkways.si.edu In 1994, master Puerto Rican plena drummer Tito Matos emigrated to New York City and encountered there a vibrant Puerto Rican cultural revival occurring in neighborhoods such as the South Bronx. Matos soon became a part of this movement himself, joining Los Pleneros de la 21, a non-profit performance group founded to celebrate Puerto Rican traditions and to increase appreciation of bomba, plena, and other Afro-Puerto Rican artistic genres. In late 2003, Matos returned to Puerto Rico, where he continues to perform and involve himself in the musical traditions of his homeland. Here he discusses the importance of teaching music to younger generations in local communities.

The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 several months after its release. However, "Fergalicious" managed to top the Pop 100 chart and spent fourteen weeks in the top ten of the Hot 100. "Fergalicious" was extremely successful as a digital song. In fact, it's one of the very few tracks which have been certified 2x platinum in the US, thanks to the heavy downloads. This achievement was very easy as, in January 2007, it sold 295000 downloads in a single week, being immediately certified platinum and holding the record for the most downloaded song in a single week (which has since been broken by Flo Rida's "Low"). As of August 2008, "Fergalicious" has been downloaded for over 2740000 times in the US only, being in the Top 10 of the most downloaded songs in the US history. "Fergalicious" was not released in the UK or Ireland in 2006 but was later released as a double A side with "Clumsy" in October 2007. The song heavily samples "Give It All You Got" by Afro-Rican and "Supersonic" by JJ Fad.[3] It also features elements from "Night Train" by James Brown and "It's More Fun to Compute" by Kraftwerk (both sampled in "Give It All You Got"). The riff at the opening of the song and featured throughout is from Dominic Frontiere's theme music for the 60's TV show The Rat Patrol. will.i.am's opening line is an interpolation of the opening line of 2 Live Crew's "Throw The D." The word "Fergalicious" is a portmanteau of the words 'Fergie' and 'delicious'. Spelling is a large part ...

A fiery mix of documentary, drama, & spoken-word poetry, EVERY CHILD IS BORN A POET explores the life and work of Piri Thomas, the Afro-Cuban-Puerto Rican author of the classic autobiographical novel Down These Mean Streets. The film traces Thomas path from childhood to manhood in New York Citys Spanish Harlem, El Barrio, from the 1930's through the 1960s from home life during the Great Depression, to membership in barrio youth gangs, from a life of crime through six years spent in prison to his emergence as a writer. Directed by: Jonathan Meyer Robinson "The deeply felt resonance of "EVERY CHILD IS BORN A POET" derives from Piri Thomas' unique ability to connect with his own interior life of feelings, and then to verbalize them through his art to the rest of the world."

In the tradition of Gillo Pontecorvos Battle Of Algiers, Melvin Van Peebles Sweet Sweetbacks Badasssss Song and Sam Greenlees The Spook Who Sat By The Door, Vagabonds MACHETERO is a meditation on violence as a means toward liberation. Post 9/11 definitions, ideas and notions of terrorism are challenged in this highly controversial and experimental film. Machetero is an allegorical narrative that follows French journalist Jean Dumont, played by Isaach de Bankolé (The Keeper, Ghost Dog, Manderlay, Casino Royale, The Limits Of Control), to a New York prison where he interviews Pedro Taino, a so-called "Puerto Rican Terrorist" played by not4prophet (lead singer of the Puerto Punk band RICANSTRUCTION). Pedro is a self-described Machetero fighting to free Puerto Rico from the yoke of United States colonialism. He is obsessed with freedom, freedom for his country, his people and for himself. Jean questions Pedro about his decisions to use violence as a means to achieve that freedom. Jean utilizes a global perspective in questioning Pedro, referencing examples of achieving his goals through more peaceful means. However Jean soon finds that Pedro is well versed in liberation struggles from around the world and their debate over the use of violence as a catalyst for change escalates. As Jean and Pedro speak, another story unfolds. A ghetto youth played by Kelvin Fernandez (in his first starring role) grows up in the streets doing what he has to do to survive. The ghetto youth ...
