There’s a moment that stays with you when you leave Puerto Rico. It’s not always dramatic—sometimes it’s quiet. A plane taking off, a last look out the window, a promise you make to yourself that you’ll be back soon. But then life happens, and before you realize it, you’re not there anymore.

You begin building something new. New routines, new streets, new people. On the surface, everything moves forward. But something never fully settles. No matter how far you go, Puerto Rico doesn’t leave you.

It shows up in unexpected ways. A song that hits harder than it should. The smell of coffee that almost feels right, but not quite. A memory that catches you off guard and, for a moment, takes you back completely. That feeling—that constant pull between where you are and where you come from—is what this album is built on.

“Between Here and There” wasn’t created as a concept or a genre experiment. It’s a reflection of that in-between space so many of us live in. A place where you’re not fully here, but you’re not fully there either. Where your thoughts come out in English, but your identity is still rooted in Spanish. Where your life exists somewhere else, but your sense of home never moved.

That’s why this album is English-language salsa. Not as a gimmick, but as an honest expression of what diaspora actually sounds like. It’s not perfect Spanish, and it’s not fully American. It’s something in between—just like us.

This project is for the people who left Puerto Rico chasing opportunity, for those who didn’t have a choice, and for anyone who carries that quiet feeling of missing something they can’t fully explain. It’s for the ones who still feel the island in everything they do, even when they’re miles away.

If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you were back, even just for a moment, then you already understand this album.
