Jibarito: The Borinqueneers' Story
"Jibarito" by Ray Santos is a tribute to the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, and their courageous service during the Korean War. This composition narrates the story of Puerto Rican soldiers who were accused of treason for refusing a suicidal mission but were later recognized as heroes. The music reflects their bravery, the injustices they faced, and their eventual honor with the Purple Heart and a national holiday, celebrating their legacy and sacrifice.
