Ferrer Rivera, Leticia. creator author txu 2020 First Edition spa 53 pages : photographs (color) ; 26 cm. This is a simple but deep and technical look into all the types of music and dances that are authentic from Puerto Rico. It has an explanation and description of when each genre started, how and includes the specific names of the instruments and typical attires used. Through many years I have seen a lot of people mixing and matching between genres by using the folkloric attire from one music genre and dancing another type from another century. This book is dedicated to clarify all that confusion and to be used as a resource for teachers, journalists, family time and anyone who would like to learn about all music and dances from this beautiful island from the Caribbean.
