The Museo de la Música Puertorriqueña (English: Museum of Puerto Rican Music) is a museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico, that showcases the development of Puerto Rican music, with displays of Taíno, Spanish, and African musical instruments that were played in the romantic danza genre, the favorite music of 19th-century Puerto Rican society, as well as the more African-inspired bomba and plena styles. Also on view are memorabilia of composers and performers.〔(''Museum of Puerto Rican Music.'' ) Ponce Attractions. Frommers. Frommer's Puerto Rico, 8th Edition, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
