Nuyoricans in New York via Puerto Rico

By definition a Nuyorican is a mix. The word is a blending of “New York” and “Puerto Rican”. The person is a Puerto Rican living in New York or a New York born person with Puerto Rican roots. If it sounds complicated, that’s because it is. Trust me , I’m a Nuyorican. Originally it was used often as an insult. It was used by Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico to refer to NY Ricans who according to the stereotype spoke broken Spanish and were “Americanized” (although as a poet said, how much more American can you get than McDonald’s in Viejo San Juan).
More recently however the word has been reclaimed as a badge of pride and identity. Nuyorican is now used to name comedy troupes, bands, and a whole style of poetry and cafes where that poetry can be heard. But the last place I expected to see the tag “Nuyorican” used with such pride was in Puerto Rico.
The Nuyorican Cafe in Old San Juan , Puerto Rico, has no affiliation with the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the Lower East Side of NYC, but the idea behind it is similar. The Nuyo, as island Ricans call it, was made to be an open space where artists of all genres can come together to show off and share their talents.
This past weekend in New York City, poets,musicians, and hip-hoppers from the Nuyorican in Puerto Rico came to chill with the Nuyoricans here. If the variety of talent that was here is any indication of what goes down in the Nuyo, bueno then that’s the place to see on your next trip to Puerto Rico. The Nuyorican Cafe in Viejo San Juan serves up food, dance, drinks, music, and poetry nearly everyday of the week.
Lluvia Poetica

It’s been pouring for days here in New York City, but water isn’t the only thing flooding the streets. Words, sounds, beats and rhythms, in English, Spanish and variations between have been saturating the Latino scene thanks to the presence of Poetas en Nueva York : el Segundo Encuentro de Nueva Poesia. The four day poetry and spoken word series brings not just local Latino poets together; a group of spoken word spitters and poetas direct from la isla del encanto, Puerto Rico, are taking part as well. The series, sponsored by a variety of Latino and literary institutions and organizations, includes performances, exhibitions, and lectures at various lugares throughout New York City.
I had the pleasure of attending and participating in the first event in the series on Wednesday, La Tertulia de Fusion Atómica. D’Antigua, a bar/restaurant in Jackson Heights, was packed. Poetas weren’t going to let a little bit of rain ruin their night. It wasn’t about traditional iambic pentameter either. All the poets that performed mixed politics with pride and sometimes even threw in a Reggaeton beat.
As the rain promises to continue to fall through the weekend, show your love and open your mind to some incredible talent and their ideas from New York and Puerto Rico.

Tertuliando
28 Sep 2005
The tertulia is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones that has its roots in the salons of enlightenment Europe and with social movements in Latin America. Over the last year in the predominantly Latino community of Jackson Heights in Queens, NY, the tertulia is being revived and in Spanish.
Fusión Atómica, a Queens based cultural organization founded in 2003 by Juan Esteban and Angela Perez, originally wanted to educate high school and college age Latinos about their culture and heritage. What followed was a weekly radio program . The radio program has grown into a twice a month cultural sharing or tertulia.
The tertulias take place every other Wednesday at D’Antigua, a bar/restaurant known for its Latin rock scene more than for its poetry scene. The tertulias are always jam packed with a mix of young and old Latinos from all over. Musical performances include hip-hop and more traditional baladas. Spoken word poets are followed by story tellers. Puerto Ricans follow Colombians who follow Ecuadorians who are all loved by the audience.
I first performed at the tertulia over a year ago, as a spoekn word poet trained in the Nuyorican school using my primary languages of Spanglish and hip hop. The tertulia gave me space to perform but also room to grow as a Latina artist which included a supportive environment to do something I thought I would never do, write and perform in Spanish. The tertulias serve not just as a place for the exchange of culture and ideas but also foster the idea of pan-Latino unity and support and ain’t that what comunidad is all about?
