This poster marks the first official government recognition of Bomba y Plena, two Afro-Puerto Rican musical traditions deeply rooted in Loíza, a historically African-descendant municipality. The 1970s saw renewed appreciation for African contributions to Puerto Rican culture, led by anthropologists, musicians, and the ICP. Hosting the inaugural festival in Monte Grande de Loíza signified the institutional acceptance of Bomba as a cultural emblem, not a marginalized practice. The artwork highlights Loíza’s traditions: the robed dancer, the barriles (drums), and the syncretic mix of African spirituality and Caribbean landscape.
