The Last Karaoke Spot for Locals in Puerto Rico? | PBS

Watch as more than 60 local residents in the Calle Loiza district of San Juan, Puerto Rico, gather every Friday night for karaoke at Casa Laurel, one of the few locally owned businesses left in the area. While foreign investment transforms Calle Loiza into a street lined with tourists, the film pays homage to this karaoke spot as a gathering place for locals filled with joy and community. 'HOMEGROWN: A Part Of/Apart From' is a collection of short films from the U.S. territories and Hawaiʻi exploring issues of cultural identity, sovereignty, and agency, as residents and members of the diaspora grapple with what it means to be “a part of and apart from” the mainland U.S. Casa Laurel | HOMEGROWN This program is made possible by viewers like you.
