I am a child of Puerto Rican immigrants and I was born in New York city. I loved this documentary a s I am trying to learn more about my culture and the history of the islands people.
Thank you so much for posting this it was enlightening. Que viva Puerto Rico mi isla del encanto.
My family has intermarried throughout the Caribbean.
The Bomba is PR
Tambu is Curaçao
Kumina is JA
Etc etc etc
Mother Africa throughout the Caribe gave us the drums with dance.
It is different from island to island.
Same with the food.
Root soup from Jamaica is similar, and I say again similar, to SanCocho.
To all my Caribbean ppl please do a little “island hopping” and embrace your sisters and brothers and their “cultura único”❤
Educación, orgullo, cultura, respeto.
This was SPECTACULAR! Very well produced & executed.
Love our culture & its people!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback
Thank you for this documentary Rocco. I was born in Puerto Rico but I grew up in the Lower West Side of Buffalo also. It was awesome seeing people I grew up with and shared in the Buffalonian Puerto Rican experience. Grasias de corazon ❤💪🇵🇷
Thank you! I appreciate the kind feedback. It was a labor of love. Thank you for watching.
Best,
Rocco Anastasio
Puerto Rico, España.
I must say, that Puerto Rico is not the Puerto Rico I knew. So, for that girl to say that the bomba is part of Haiti or Dominica Republic she has to do research. Puerto Rico is so mix that many non- Puerto Rican identified themselves as Puerto Ricans. I do not have a problem with that but I do have a problem to say that bomba is Domican or Haitian culture she's damn wrong. I was born in Puerto Rico but I learn about plena and bomba here in the mainland. What I remembered as a little girl was la Danza and la musica jibara. I love Puerto Rico but is like a main city in the main land al mixed up with different ppl and culture, please real Puerto Ricans preserve our OWN CULTURE, don't get it confused with other cultures. Keep it real!
BOMBA IS AS Puerto Rican as the coquiand es de AQUI.
We’re NOT Dominican. We love our neighbors but they’re absolutely not the same people or culture
WEPA, cantaselo! 🌺🦜🦎🌴
Bomba music emerged 400 years ago from the colonial plantations where West African enslaved people and their descendants worked. Our cultural music (BOMBA), also evolved through contact between other enslaved populations from different Caribbean colonies and regions, like Santo Domingo, Haiti, and Cuba.
Even though this music form emerged in Borikén, it was influenced by other Africans from other colonies.
Yes, although it is true but BOMBA is original from Puertoro. Again, I didn't know about it until I came to the main land-the music I heard was more jibara, charanga, and english.
Great documentary
Thank you
Puerto Rico Libre
Very nice, well done. Thank You
Thank you, I truly appreciate your feedback
Becarefull with status 😅
Rocco a good example of been Puerto Riican is the 5000 Puerto Ricans man woman an children that emigrated to Hawaii to cut sugar you would think that they would lost their identity instead they tribe and keep their purtorican tradition and love for the island they never visited anyone wants to learn more Google Puerto Ricans in Hawaii. And you are Puerto. Rican because your mo blood an u enviroment,😮😮😊😊
Great point about the community of Boricuas who moved to Hawaii and settled there and created their own unique community. Love it, we are everywhere and carry our traditions and customs wherever we go.
I would have loved to have had an opportunity to capture the Hawaiian Boricua experience, but it wasn't in the plans for this film. Maybe next time.
Best,
Rocco
If Puerto Ricans decide upon U.S. Statehood, then I'd highly recommend writing the State's Constitution in BOTH Spanish & English (as both California & New Mexico did).
It is already done. Check it on official government website in the Internet. (And both languages are official languages, even today, without statehood and being a US terrortory.)
@@virgiliofernandoacevedo6338
I just had a thought (BTW: I haven't yet looked at that Constitution on-line yet)...
If not already in Puerto Rico's Constitution, I would highly recommend an Amendment to cover non-Puerto-Ricans from being able to own land, especially quickly & easily, without first meeting certain requirements - much like the Philippine Islands does in regards to non-Filippino-citizen residents there; for, a foreigner must first live in the Philippines for 5-to-10 years depending upon any Filippino-Foreigner marriage connection, & speak a Filippino dialect in addition to English or Spanish, be of good moral character, & aquire land by paying for it without yet actually owning it - before the foreigner can even apply to be considered for Philippine Island Citizenship (as being a Filippino Citizen is a pre-requisite to becoming a land owner in the Philippines).
Now in the special case of Puerto Rico whose People might not want independence from the U.S., I'd go one step further & make some similar conditions for U.S. mainlanders, especially those without any Puerto Rican heritage - else all current U.S. citizens could quickly buy up Puerto Rico & displace the Puerto Ricans (& don't think that this can't happen because it happens within the U.S.A. quite a bit - & often immediately following a "natural disaster" if not purely by economic manipulation... for their are domestic as well as foreign enemies here, some of which are in places of power &/or influence).
Just saying, Be Wary Tainos (Remember, Tainos are "The Good Guys," & not everyone else is).
🇵🇷😎👍
Good discussion! Thanks for checking the film out.
@@AnastasioMedia
Thanks for presenting it.
😎👍
Puerto Rican and Italian? That is really good food from both sides! 🤤
El primer nombre que le pusieron los españoles a puerto rico fue san juan bautista no fue puerto rico.
¿no era Boriken?
@@AnastasioMedia me refería al nombre que le pusieron los españoles, pero antes de los españoles era boriquén así es.
This is the safest thing .borinken belongs to the native Taino people you should be ashame
The act Jones was killed, now we are in the limbo :/
Let's not forget "the doctrine of discovery" that Christopher Columbus brought to us
Libre! No matter how much we have to fight
Independence for 🇵🇷
Of yourself and not including our ancestors.CONJO
1:13:16 You left out Baltimore there are Puerto Ricans living in the Highlandtown district. I can understand NYC because of the nonsense hype but why mention Boston and Philadelphia? What so special about those cities? Between Boston and Washington D.C. there are Puerto Ricans populating. So do you mean to say Bos- Wash? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_megalopolis
Bostonian here, and I can tell you that Puerto Ricans are proud of being Puerto Ricans, we have Puerto Rican neighborhoods and even the huge Puerto Rican festivals held at city hall. Of course those cities are special, a ton of us boricuas live there
If someone was born in Florida or Texas or any other state , are the Floridians are going to call themselves Texians or New Yorkers? :/
Not likening the connection of bomba to dominicanos. Our African descent, rebelión did not start outside of Borikua.
Dominicanos have contributed with nothing to the island, just flooding the island and the USA of drugs, or better said crime and delinquency and to live at the expenses of Puerto Ricans on the island.
“These islands (Cuba and Puerto Rico) are natural appendages to the North American Continent. Cuba in almost sight of our shores, from a multitudes of consideration has become an object of transcendent importance to the commercial and political interest of our Union.”
John Quincy Adams
Cuban and Puerto Rican statehood is critical for securing Hispanic POWER.
Central America and DR can be candidates for Statehood in the future.
Puerto Ricans always complaining, but I do not hear anyone complaining about the plague of drug mules invading the island along the coasts to fill the island, NY and the rest of the USA of drugs, or better said crime and delinquency and to live at expenses of Puerto Rican tax payers.. Puerto Rico has the best economy status than the Caribbean, Centro and South America according to statistics given by Jaime Bayly who was comparing the minimum salary in each country. So what are you complaining about.Worse, those who complain live in the USA or if aliens crawl themselves th have what Puerto Ricans take for granted. the USA citizenship.
Impressive Doc. Soy Independentista but, Its the Economy that will determine our futuro. You left out how the "jones act" is Suffocating our key to become a Beautiful/Strong Nation. Somos Un Pueblo, tenemos una Cultural, ¡Somos Una NACION! - Coincidentally born in Chicago, but even if born on the moon - Amor Boriken. 🩵🇵🇷
Thank you for the feedback and for watching my film. Yes, I would have loved to include some info regarding the Jones Act and did record some interviews footage with Rep. Soto discussing the Jones Act and how it negatively affects Puerto Rico. As a Florida Representative however, he didn't want to rid the Jones Act as it benefits the State of Florida and there really wasn't any way to fit the footage within the film in a way that made sense with the discussion being had, so I left it out.
Again, I truly appreciate your feedback and for watching the film. Thank you!
Rocco
I Apologize for hurting the chances of floridians climbing out of their 48% below the poverty level, ¿Que estaba pensando?
What a r4t, in the USA, saying that you are independentista or better said, I am here, I do not give a d4m about what happens the people of the island. That is what an hypocrite r4t is. Not good neither for the island nor for the USA.
You are kidding me, right? There is no “Boricua”. There is Bohiken in Taino. Mispronounced by the Spaniards into Borinquen. From which Borincano or Borinqueño are derived. Look up the Classical Island Literature and you will not find Boricua anywhere.
Later this “elecua” version starts going around from unknown origins and is popularized particularly by the Newyorikans in later generations along with the Spanglish that comes back to the Island with visiting and repatriating descendants of migrating Borinqueños. Just like the Island wasn’t named Puerto Rico, which your presentation states as a matter of historical fact, but San Juan Bautista del Puerto Rico. Which later in the records of lazy scribes became the name of the Walled City in the small island of San Juan and the Del Puerto Rico description became the oficial name of the Main Island. Something similar to the Phenomenon of the United States Of America becoming the America, when there are 3 such named land masses in the Western Hemisphere. Pretty much everybody in North, Central and South America is an American, but no American Citizenship is the exclusive domain and right of USA passport carrying individuals. Boricua is the product of illiterate and/or under educated popular culture that rouses the masses at music concerts of popular interpreters of Puerto Rican music, yes not Portorican music like the speech impaired Gringos like to say. Did you know that Gringo was applied to any generally white English speaker in the Americas, not just from the US as many Borinqueños think. So stop fabricating a myth without factual foundation, such as the internet version of history where “Boricua”was described as being used by the Taínos of the Island to refer to themselves. They would not have because it is not Taino but a transliteration to Archaic Spanish of the time.
