"El título de este álbum, Raíces Boricuas, no representa un rótulo en busca de promoción de ventas. Ni es cartel competitivo la colección de sus canciones. Tampoco ha encauzado la cantante su extraordinario potencial en una ruta de esplendor. Una trabajosa búsqueda, a veces dolorosa, ha precedido la elaboración de este álbum, que simboliza una modesta, centrípeta exploración de una generación en pos de digno anclaje..."
