  Lucecita Benitez
Lucecita was a member of what is historically known in Puerto Rico as the New Wave, or Nueva Ola of popular music, alongside Ednita Nazario and Chucho Avellanet[?], among others.
That began a series of hits for Lucecita, and at the same time, it began a rivalry between her and fellow New Waver, Cuban born Puerto Rican resident Lissette Alvarez[?], also a musical legend.
Benitez's most important career step came in 1969, when she won the Festival de la Musica y la Cancion (Festival of the Music and the Song) in Mexico.

This allows me to cling to a past rooted in Puerto Rico, especially in a long-disappeared period of Puerto Rican history, the late 1960s to early 1980s, that will be the focus of my next major research project.
Lucecita's performance was some sort of nostalgic trip (in various senses of the word "trip").
Lucecita's own life and career is one of the best markers of the transition between the Puerto Rico of the Fomento transformation that peaked in the 1960s, and the post-militant 1980s, but these are topics (Fomento, the turmoil of circa 1967-1982), that I hope to address some time in the future.
