Professor José Cruz and Elena Martinez discuss the stories that inspired the most emblematic songs in the Puerto Rican popular repertoire.

Puerto Rican music has made many headlines over the last few years due to its global cultural impact. However, the influence and development of Puerto Rico’s musical genres, rhythms, and songs have roots that have evolved over and across generations. Don’t miss this Cafecito con…Professor José Cruz and moderator Elena Martinez as they discuss Cruz's latest book, Con la música a otra parte.

This book weaves fiction and reality to tell the stories that may have inspired some of the most emblematic songs in the Puerto Rican popular repertoire, inviting us to scrutinize the soundtrack of a bygone era and to reflect on the familiarity that the songs evoke in us.
