A beautiful folk record featuring singer and rhythm guitarist Sandra Roldan, this release includes heartfelt songs from Puerto Rico: songs about political struggle, revolution and also the beauty of the island. This Brooklyn based trio plays all spanish songs except for the album opener "I Was A Ghetto Child". Album download includes an 8 page bilingual booklet with liner notes, historical information and the complete lyrics of the songs.

A special note by Ana Luisa Durán: "The title of this album, Boricua Roots, does not represent a catching design in search of sales success. Neither does the collection of songs. Nor has the singer channeled her extraordinary potential into a route of splendor. A laborious, at times painful scrutiny has preceded this album. It symbolizes the modest, inwardly gravitating pursuit of a derooted generation in search of dignified anchorage..."

Una nota especial por Ana Luisa Durán: "El título de este álbum, Raíces Boricuas, no representa un rótulo en busca de promoción de ventas. Ni es cartel competitivo la colección de sus canciones. Tampoco ha encauzado la cantante su extraordinario potencial en una ruta de esplendor. Una trabajosa búsqueda, a veces dolorosa, ha precedido la elaboración de este álbum, que simboliza una modesta, centrípeta exploración de una generación en pos de digno anclaje..."
