Conga Blues Victor M. Vélez

"Conga Blues," is a collection of poetry that explores cultural identity, personal identity and social identity. Migrating to the United States and growing up in New York City, I often questioned my cultural identity as a Puerto Rican. I struggled to find my own personal identity, my purpose in life. My social identity was intertwined with the social uproars of the late 60's and the early 70's. "Conga Blues," is a collection of this search.
