In this issue of The Blast, we commemorate an important heritage, tell a story about a Vampire, then check out some Freestyle club and concerts heading your way!
I Always thought of freestyle as Latin Hip hop.....meaning.....Latinos making the music....mostly Puerto Ricans. IT was My Music.....Relatable to me, as a Young Puerto rican....I felt represented by a specific music genre!.....That was exciting to me!....Knowing that Safire, Tka, Angel, the girls from Sweet Sensation, Noel, Coro, and so many more WERE Puerto Ricans made me proud!...When Spin Magazine did an issue focusing on Latin hip hop, with Safire on the cover....I knew we were a Force to be wreckoned with!....There were other Latin artists....but on the whole.......it proved that we could sing!....
When talking about music with regard to Hispanic Heritage Month, freestyle has to be part of the conversation for sure. I'm one-fourth Cuban on my mom's side, so I can appreciate the shout-out to all of those who are part of the freestyle community.
Both my parents were Puerto Rican, but my grandmother was Cuban. Yes, I'd like to see Freestyle recognized more during NHHM. Thank you Marcus, for commenting, and thanks for reading the newsletters.
