Puerto Ricans Culture

 

Each country distinguished and differs from other by their culture. Culture is a set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterize a society or social group in a particular place. The Latino community is one of the most widely characterized. We see cultures that have been found in almost every corner of the world. Examples of well-known Latino cultures worldwide are: Mexico, Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, among others. The Puerto Rican is also part of this list. Puerto Rico is a country with a very peculiar culture. This is largely influenced by their ancestors Taino, Spanish and African, after the beginning of Puerto Rican history; and in smaller amounts by the US, but increasingly it will influence gradually, more Puerto Ricans. The music, food and crafts are the ones who have excelled during the time in Puerto Rican folklore.
   

         Puerto Ricans are known for being extremely fiesteras people; we can conclude that almost all throw a party. In times past, they were mostly religious celebrations, and the clearest example is the festivities. They were made to pay tribute to each patron of the church in each village. There were with family, friends and acquaintances and advantage, after Mass, to celebrate. At present, these parties have quite lost the essence for which they were created and have become mere mostly festivals. Another example of Puerto Rican celebrations are the festivals. In the archipelago, numerous traditional festivals, environmental, industrial and commercial reasons celebrate, and promote happiness. Here they can be found (as): crafts exhibitions, music, traditional food, drinks; etc.
   

         What can never miss the party for the Puerto Rican musical and if taken into the blood. This is what really distinguishes the Puerto Rican culture from all others. Among the most prominent musical expressions are borinqueñas: the bonus, Carol, six, bomba, plena, and salsa dance. All these varieties are played with Puerto Rican instruments, African, Taino and Spanish origin. Another thing that distinguishes us is the local food. Creole cooking is the one that was influenced by the ancestors. Some of the dishes have Spanish influence, other African, you may have some influence from both cultures, or is a totally new creation. These are made mostly with coconut, banana, banana, cassava, rice, yams, pork, chicken, beef, fish or crabs. All this indicates that are made with food produced on the same island, that is, who are on hand. Among the most outstanding dishes, there can be mentioned: rice and beans, fried plantains, rice with coconut, sorullitos, cakes, fritters, guineitos pickled, fried, roasted pig, chicken rice; etc. Among the drinks, alcoholic have been the best known. DonQ brands like Bacardi, Medal, Palo Viejo are developed on the island.
   

          In conclusion, the Puerto Rican culture is a very happy and partying well mixed. These were some examples, which means that there are still many more, but these are the most important. One can recognize who is Puerto Rican by his way of being, regardless the place, which is good because it reveals how much has been highlighted. For this reason we must always take care of our culture and fight like other countries.
