VivirLatino is really excited to welcome George Torres, aka The Urban Jibaro as our latest guest blogger. Sofrito is an essential element in all good Puerto Rican things so it makes sense that George tries to keep it real Rican through his website and cultural work.
Bienvenido!
George Torres, The Urban Jibaro
George Torres is a poet, cultural activist and founder of cultural online magazine www.SofritoForYourSoul.com. Having been born & raised between Brooklyn, NY & Bayamon, Puerto Rico, he was reared with traditional Puerto Rican values and incorporated that with what he learned in the streets of East New York. This mixture of elements in his life earned him the nickname “Urban Jibaro” that former Young Lord and Community Leader, the late Richie Perez bestowed on him.
His current projects include Capicu Poetry, a monthly open mic poetry / cultural showcase in Williamsburg Brooklyn of which he is co-founder. He also hosts the first Latino radio show on Blog Talk Radio called Radio Capicu.It is through this work that he hopes to continue to empower the community to promote and document the evolution of Latino culture in order to help second and third generation Latinos reconnect with lost elements of a cultural legacy they rightfully own.
