Your Travel Experience with Caribbean Travel and Tours
Pick up from your hotel
n your guided visit to the Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña in Ponce, you’ll step into the beautifully restored Casa Serrallés and be welcomed by an expert docent who will introduce you to the museum’s mission of preserving Puerto Rico’s musical heritage. As you move through the galleries, you’ll see an impressive array of instruments—from Taíno rattles and Spanish guitars to drums rooted in African traditions—and learn how each influenced genres like danza, bomba, and plena. Along the way, personal photographs, recordings, and memorabilia of celebrated musicians bring the story of Puerto Rican sound to life, while occasional live demonstrations let you hear these instruments in action. Between exhibits, your guide will share anecdotes about the Serrallés family, whose former home now houses the museum, and explain how this elegant colonial building found new purpose as a cultural landmark. By the end of your tour, you’ll have not only a deeper understanding of the island’s musical evolution but also a greater appreciation for the people and traditions that continue to keep its rhythms alive.
