I guess you meant "being a Puerto Rican"...my friend, this composition has nothing to do with Puerto Rico..it is a composition of mexican composer Alberto Dominguez...
excuse my orthography. Being a Puerto Rican HAVE a lot do with the song: Mario peraza was the man playing the timbales. George Shearing was very happy about it. And Mario, was a Puerto Rican. Any way, this is a great song !
