19 Songs to Hype Up Your Corillo Before the Puerto Rican Day Parade

In all its red, white, and blue glory, the 59th annual Puerto Rican Day Parade will make 5th Avenue its main stage this coming Sunday. This is the nation’s largest Boricua cultural celebration, so attendees might just be “Puerto Rican Day Parade floating,” like Yeezus himself. Rosario Dawson and Carmelo Anthony will be the reigning honorary royals of the Parade, while New York City natives dance, sing, and celebrate their Puerto Rican heritage.

Boricua todólogo and industry plug Spiff TV, who has been a major force in bringing together the worlds of reggaeton and hip-hop, has curated a playlist for your pre-parade celebrations. Spiff TV is behind tracks like “Mi Combo,” which features Future, Yandel, and the producer-director himself. Other Puerto Rican anthems included on this playlist are Big Pun’s “Still Not a Player,” “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee, and “Vivir Mi Vida” by Marc Anthony. Check it out below, fam.
