The article, which opens with a brief discussion of the relationships among music, identity, and the Caribbean as a musical region, uses the music collection of John Alden Mason (1914–1915) to illustrate the development of the sociomusical interactions between Puerto Rico and Cuba before the emergence of the music industry on both islands. In addition, it shows—through the examination of the music recorded in Puerto Rico and New York between 1910 and 1941—the gradual Afro-Cubanization of the Puerto Rican musical repertoire. Finally, the article proposes that the appropriation and adaptation of Afro-Cuban music during the first decades of the twentieth century was not simply a passive imitation but an expression through popular music of the Afro-diasporic dimension of the identity of the popular sectors in Puerto Rico
