Ramito

Flor Morales Ramos, better known by his stage name Ramito, was a Puerto Rican singer who is considered one of the greatest exponents of Puerto Rican folk music, particularly the genre known as jíbaro music. Born on September 5, 1922, in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Ramito was renowned for his ability to inspire Puerto Rican national pride through his songs, which often touched on themes of love, country life, and social issues.

During his prolific career, Ramito, who was sometimes referred to as "El Cantor de la Montaña" (The Singer of the Mountain), recorded numerous albums that captured the essence of Puerto Rican country music. With a vibrant and expressive voice, his music has become emblematic of the island's cultural heritage. Songs like "Felices Pascuas De Ramito" showcased his ability to mix holiday themes with the rhythms of the island, while "Sabor boricua” and “Amor Imposible,” reaffirmed his status as a cherished figure in the Puerto Rican music scene. Remastered versions of his classic hits have introduced his music to new generations, preserving the legacy of one of Puerto Rico's musical giants. Ramito passed away on February 23, 1989, but his influence continues to be felt in the music world.
