Exploring Puerto Rico: Culture, Cuisine & Caribbean Adventures
Podcast: History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and CulturePublished On: Sun Jul 13 2025
Description: Puerto Rico isn’t just a Caribbean paradise—it’s a cultural battleground. Behind the palm trees and pastel buildings lies a centuries-long story of survival, colonization, and resistance. From the sacred rhythm of Bomba to the flavors born of slavery and spice, this cinematic journey explores how Puerto Ricans have preserved their identity through food, faith, and fierce creative rebellion. Why are Santería rituals still practiced behind Catholic icons? Why does Puerto Rico produce global pop stars yet lacks full voting rights? And how has resistance always been a recipe—served hot with sofrito, salsa, and soul? This isn’t a travelogue. It’s a revelation. What part of Puerto Rico’s soul were you never told? And why?
