This poster commemorates the Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña in Ponce, an institution dedicated to preserving the island’s musical heritage—from jíbaro music to danza, bomba, and plena. The museum plays a crucial role in documenting the instruments, composers, and traditions that define Puerto Rican identity. During the late 20th century, the museum expanded its educational programs and exhibitions, drawing greater national recognition.
Alonso’s composition features stylized vertical pillars containing drawings of native instruments such as the cuatro and barril de bomba, alongside sheet music and symbolic color blocks. The tall columns resemble organ pipes or architectural supports, metaphorically presenting Puerto Rican music as the pillars of national culture. The mix of modern and folkloric imagery highlights the richness and diversity of the island’s musical evolution.
