About organization:
Club Puertorriqueño de San Francisco, bills itself as the oldest Latinx organization in the U.S., and the heart of the Bay Area’s small but proud Puerto Rican community.
For more than a century, it’s served as a social, cultural and political hub, with a regular calendar of events, like the one Sunday, Nov. 10: Dia del Cuatro Y Trovador, a musical performance featuring rising cuatro master Carlos “Pachito” Vega and veteran vocalist Samuel Quijano Huertas.
The Dia del Cuatro Y Trovado concerts have been held annually for almost two decades, starting with legendary cuatrista Yomo Toro, known for accompanying stars like Hector Lavoe, Ruben Blades and Willie Colon. (The cuatro, Vargas explains, is the national instrument of Puerto Rico). But Club Puertorriqueño de San Francisco has much deeper roots.
The club was founded in 1912, in order to represent Puerto Rico in the Panama Pacific International Exposition, which was held in San Francisco in 1915. Its founders were Puerto Rican immigrants who had been recruited to be sugar plantation workers in Hawaii. But, upon arriving here, some decided not to continue their journey, and formed their own Puerto Rican community in the Bay Area.
