"Música y Músicos Portorriqueños" by Fernando Callejo Ferrer is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

It offers insights into the cultural landscape of Puerto Rican music, providing personal anecdotes and a critical examination of notable figures and their contributions to the musical heritage of the island. The opening of the work introduces the author's motivations for writing, particularly his deep connection to his daughter's pursuit of an artistic career in music, and outlines the two main objectives of the book: to expand upon a prior conference about musical art in Puerto Rico and to raise funds to support his daughter's studies in Milan. It discusses his challenges and the societal context that influenced the musical development in Puerto Rico, emphasizing the contributions of religious institutions and notable musicians throughout history.
