African Heritage 5

The last space in this permanent exhibit displays objects related to the contributions of that forced immigration of black Africans. There are musical instruments -tambourines, maracas, gourd guiros, marimbas, bongos- and references to the contribution of black culture to Puerto Rican cuisine, art, music, literature. As depicted on the mural "El que no tiene dinga, tiene mandinga" painted by puertorrican artist David Zayas.
