Afro-Ricans are Puerto Ricans who are black and of African ancestry with little to no white ancestry (unlike the majority of Puerto Ricans). A lot of African ancestry in Puerto Rico actually comes via the other Caribbean islands, the Lesser Antilles.
It is commonly accepted that the Yoruba people of Nigeria were the main African group in Puerto Rico.
Afro-Rican refers to the African components of Puerto Rican culture, primarily in music (Bomba, Plena, Salsa) and food (plantains, mango).
The Afro-Rican identity and culture is not limited to the very few pure blacks or to the a lot more numerous mixed blacks. Even the whiter Puerto Ricans and the really and undoubtedly white Puerto Ricans partake of the African components of the culture.

Get the Afro-Rican mug.A man from or with roots from any spanish speaking country with both black (African) and spanish ancestry. Sometimes referred to as a blatino or a blaxican (depending on the spanish country of origin). As with an afro-latina, afro-latino's have the best of both worlds. They are sexy, passionate, make great lovers and ladies, if you are ever lucky enough to catch one, you'll find there's nothing better than a brotha who speaks Spanish. They come in many flavors, cafe (Merlin Santana), cafe con leche (Tego Calderon), caramel (Maxwell)and leche.
At times, the Afro-Latino may become very frustrated, because the latino community (which he loves)doesn't recognize him and shows racism. Afro-Latinos take this in stride and continue being the lovers that they are.
