Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is my Island's choice for this project. Also I have many things to say about it not only because I went there, but as tourist, I love this Island. Fist of all, Puerto Rico is located between the Caribbean sea and the north Atlantic Ocean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico is the third largest island of US and the 82nd in the world. According to my researches, I found out that the island's population was made by aboriginal people. But, when the Columbus come to there second voyage things begging to change because the Spanish took over Puerto Rica. In Puerto Rico their official language is Spanish as citizens of America they speak English as well but most of people are bilingual. In addition, the island is surround by different races and multiple cultures. Moreover, the political status of Puerto Rico is that of an unincorporated territory of United States, and it is a sovereign nation nor a U.S. State.Puerto Rico music come from many sources, for instance, Spain, West Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and, in the last century, the USA.

 

Their wide and rich variety of music is Bomba that become today Reggaetón but their culture is based on boleros of Rafael Hernandez that comes from salsa.
