Jibaritos

Jíbaro is a term used to refer to mountain people, who lived "in-land" in the heart of the island, and are the backbone of the Puerto Rican culture. Many Puerto Rican artists feature the Jíbaro in their art, it's a sign of respect, love and admiration to our ancestors and it conveys a certain nostalgia for those who live away from home.
