Atlas Obscura Presents Sound Influence: Rita Moreno and Pachyman

Atlas Obscura Presents Sound Influence: Rita Moreno and Pachyman

Today and tomorrow, we’re presenting Sound Influence: The Art and Soul of Puerto Rico.

Legendary actress, singer, dancer and EGOT winner Rita Moreno shares memories of sugar cane, coquís and parrandas during her idyllic childhood in Humacao and Juncos. We hear about her recent trips back with Lin-Manuel Miranda, and how she almost turned down West Side Story because of her loyalty to the island. Dub star innovator Pachy García (aka Pachyman) opens up about growing up in Guaynabo’s vibrant reggae scene, the integral role Puerto Rico plays in his music now that he lives in Los Angeles, and the “unmistakable breeze” that greets him every time he comes back home to the island.
