Sounds Like: Most Puerto Ricans enjoy Salsa music, a musical blend of African and Caribbean rhythms developed by Cubans and Puerto Ricans who came up together in the streets of New York. Salsa was imported back into Puerto Rico and Cuba as "popular"' music in the 30's, 40's and 50's. On the island of Puerto Rico, Bomba (from Loiza, Mayaguez and Ponce), which has origins in Ghana, West Africa, had always been one of the major forms of music enjoyed by all Puerto Ricans. The Taino-Spanish influence (also included in Salsa and evidenced by the use of the "clave" and the "maracas" as integral musical instruments) comes from the mountain regions where the last vestiges of Taino culture stood out the longest. Plena (which many say came from Barrio San Anton in Ponce) is another major form which probably came from the English-speaking African immigrants who arrived from the British Caribbean islands through the island's Southern ports at the beginning of the 20th Century. "Reggaeton", a form of music which blends Puerto Rican Bomba with Jamaican Reggae rhythms, has also entered the popular Puerto Rican musical arena.In DaSo's latest project "Vision", he has managed to fuse all of the above genres with a Hip Hop edge to create what he calls "Afro Caribbean Soul".
