Puerto Rican Music

Puerto Rican music has had a significant impact on global popular music. Salsa, though not exclusively Puerto Rican, found some of its greatest exponents in artists like Héctor Lavoe and Ismael Rivera. Bomba and plena, Afro-Puerto Rican genres, remain vital to the island’s cultural identity. In reggaeton, artists like Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny have achieved worldwide fame, bringing Puerto Rican rhythms to a global audience. The innovative jazz of Miguel Zenón showcases the island’s music in a more experimental context.
