This section of EnMiPatioPR is dedicated to honoring the individuals who give life, shape, and voice to Puerto Rican culture—on the island and beyond. From dancers, musicians, and artisans to educators, cultural organizers, and storytellers, each profile featured here reflects the vibrant mosaic of our collective identity.

Rooted in our mission to preserve, document, and promote Puerto Rican heritage, Herencia Viva is more than a gallery of talent; it is a living archive of tradition, innovation, and resistance. These are the cultural stewards who protect our past, illuminate our present, and inspire the future.

Through their stories, creations, and leadership, this community embodies the values of EnMiPatioPR: accessibility, cultural pride, education, empowerment, and global connection. Every voice featured here builds a bridge between generations, between Puerto Rico and the world—keeping our heritage alive, relevant, and celebrated.
