Puerto Rican Day Parade

We can also only assume that the “ Titi Me Pregunto” music video showing Bad Bunny in what seemed to be a parade in NYC only validated the stunt. After two years without the celebration of the Puerto Rican community, people were surprised and hyped to see Bad Bunny on a float for the big day on June 12. It is also really easy to see how people could be fooled into thinking that Bad Bunny was the man in the hat, sunglasses, and draped with a Puerto Rican flag.

I was searching for an answer to a very simple question: when did Salsa Meets Jazz begin at the Village Gate? Salsa Meets Jazz was the name of a series conceived and organized by the late promoter Jack Hooke and the owner of the Village Gate, Art D’Lugoff. It was held on Monday nights to showcase Latin orchestras and jazz soloists. Before Salsa Meets jazz became officially a series, the Village Gate hosted a descarga session that was recorded live and released in three volumes titled Descargas at the Village Gate. According to famous disc jockey Symphony Sid (whose given name was Sid Torin), the 1966 Descargas at the Village Gate project began with his phone call to Morris Levy, president of Tico Records. Tico was the company that hosted the most prominent performers of music from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean in New York during the 1950s and 1960s. Bandleader/percussionist Bobby Sanabria will host this star-studded concert, which will raise money and provide support for musicians in Puerto Rico through the efforts of the Jazz Foundation of America. Nowhere else in the city could one dance (or listen) for hours to the music of Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri for a mere $10. On any given Monday one could see Dizzy Gillespie or McCoy Tyner playing alongside Luis “Perico” Ortiz and Charlie Palmieri, respectively, while Ray Barretto or Johnny Pacheco hung out at the bar. In 1937, alongside Septeto Beloña and the house band, he began performing at the renowned Tropicana Club in Havana. What drew me to The Village Gate was that there, I could satisfy my love of jazz and also my love of salsa dancing, all depending on what night I went. On a Monday night in August 1986, Tito Puente invited Nicky Marrero and Kako to a timbales duel. D’Lugoff was also proud that the series brought together different audiences who shared a common love of the music and dancing. A descarga (literally discharge in Spanish) is an improvised jam session consisting of variations on Cuban music themes, primarily son montuno, but also guajira, bolero, guaracha and rumba. I should also confess that I also knew one of the bouncers and could often get in free. After producing concerts around New York City for several years, D’Lugoff and his brother Burt opened the Gate, as it was informally called, in 1958. Among his functions, Sotelo coordinated the hiring, contracts and presentations of the orchestra.

The 65th Annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade returned to New York City on Sunday following a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The 2022 Parade was dedicated to the municipality of Cidra, Puerto Rico,” WABC reports. “This is a milestone year for the Parade, and our return to Fifth Avenue is yet another sign that NYC and the Puerto Rican community are strong, resilient and as vibrant as ever,” National Puerto Rican Day Parade Board Chair Louis Maldonado said. The 65th Annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade returned to New York City on Sunday following a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

And one thing we're going to work on with Congressman Torres, and we're working with the government of Puerto Rico, we understand that 2017, there was a Government Resources Office, there's a lot of government documents that are shared, and it shut down. Rossana Rosado and I were literally there, trying to lift people up from the hurricanes and the earthquakes, and to figure out a new way to reimagine power on this island so it's no longer being battered and battered, and people are left without power, and literally left in darkness for weeks and weeks and weeks without refrigerated food. And many people came from Puerto Rico to this part of our state to not just work in the steel plants, but also to work in the fields. That whatever the needs are, and I'll continue to work with Nydia Velázquez, and Richie Torres, and our other leaders to identify the challenges, and make sure we help. The business leaders, the individuals who are leading the elected officials, and I'm proud to say a woman, I literally a month ago I made the first Latina court of claims judge from that area, Betty Calvo-Torres. So we lift people up. We lift people up, we all start in the same place, but my job as Governor, and I believe this to my core because those values I was taught at a child are with me every single day. But here we are in person and a little bit of rain is not going to stop us. We're okay with some rain and to have the 65th parade just about to step off in a few moments is quite extraordinary. I'll be going to Europe to China and the Secretary of State goes all over. You need to get to know him very well if you don't. That is an extraordinary individual who spent quite a bit of time playing basketball in Puerto Rico. And that is my Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado. Please stand up Antonio, please. But he has been a great ambassador for me and I am so proud of what he has done. And the energy of Congressman Richie Torres. He is boundless.

There was a sea of flags, and plenty of music and dancing on Sunday.
