Lamento Borincano: Puerto Rican Lament: Early Puerto Rican Music 1916-1939 The story of popular music in Puerto Rico is a story of the tension between European dance music such as danzas and mazurkas, which was preferred by the upper classes, and rural music such as seis and bombas, which carried Afro-Caribbean influences. Once Puerto Ricans were granted American citizenship, however, and many moved for economic reasons to New York City, the genres of Puerto Rican music evolved and the repertoire expanded. This 2-CD collection, containing songs recorded from 1916 to 1939, traces the changes. Extensive liner notes include lyrics in English and Spanish, as well as descriptions of the musicians.
