**Cultural Connection:**
This property is named Rincón Ruth Fernández, in honor of the renowned Puerto Rican singer and actress born on May 23, 1919, in Ponce but with significant ties to Santurce. Known as "La Negra de Ponce," Ruth Fernández was a trailblazer in Afro-Caribbean music, using her powerful voice to break racial and cultural barriers in Puerto Rican society. She became an international sensation, performing in prestigious venues across Latin America, Europe, and the United States.
**Importance to Puerto Rican and Latin Culture:**
Ruth Fernández is celebrated for her contributions to Puerto Rican music and culture, as well as her activism. She was the first Afro-Puerto Rican to perform with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and used her platform to advocate for civil rights and social justice. Some of her most famous songs include "Cuando Vuelvas" and "Gracias, Mundo."
**Connection to Santurce:**
While Ruth Fernández was born in Ponce, she had a profound impact on the cultural scene in Santurce, where she often performed and collaborated with other local artists. Staying at Rincón Ruth Fernández allows you to connect with her legacy and the vibrant cultural tapestry of Santurce.
