RICANO

Afro-Caribbean
IN A NEW WAY

suazo Jonathan rev 3.png

RICANO is an original Afro-Caribbean experience that presents themes of exploration, integration, community, education and self-acceptance, available to audiences through live shows, immersive classes and recorded assets.

The word RICANO was conceived by J. Suazo and is a play/fusion of the words "Puertorriqueño” and “Dominicano,'' symbolizing self-discovery and connections to Puerto Rican and Dominican roots.

The long-term vision is a multi-sensory performance that immerses audiences in a new way to cultural content by combining musical, movement, historic, theoretic, and educational elements. RICANO will showcase the Afro-Caribbean experience to bring that past, present, and future of this cultural heritage to a wide array of audiences.

We hope you enjoy some of the material, the Ricano album is set to be released in August 2023 with Ropeadope Records and it will include special guests such as: Miguel Zenón, David Sánchez, Fabiola Méndez, Christian Nieves, Tanicha Lopez, Kike Serrano, Emil "El Hijo de Borikén" Martínez, Josean Jacobo, Ricky Rodriguez and many more.
