Every month in Berkeley, California, teachers and students of Puerto Rican music and dance workshops get together to improvise and enjoy Puerto Rican food, rhythms, and friendship. They call these meetings Batey Boricua, in reference to the plazas around which Taino people organized their villages in Puerto Rico. Fernando Andrés Torres followed the activities of the two cultural workers who organize these events and has  this story. This feature story is part of the series Raíces: Stories About Grassroots Artists.
