Felipe Rodriguez, Jr.

For the past 35 years Felipe has been performing traditional folk music from Puerto Rico, Mexico and Cuba to diverse audiences in Wisconsin and throughout the U.S. as a way for others to gain an appreciation of the music, language, culture and traditions of Latinos in the U.S. He combines music and lecture as a means to expose the reach styles, rhythms and beats from each group from a historical perspective through his guitar playing and singing, thereby demonstrating the many folk styles of music that exist and which are still heard today in Latino communities. Strongly believing in audience participation, he brings along the “maleta,” which is a suitcase full of traditional instruments, and explains how each has influenced a particular style of music.
