The environment of Puerto Rico significantly influenced Lin-Manuel Miranda's career, particularly as a composer and lyricist. Growing up in the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico, he drew inspiration from its rich musical traditions and storytelling. The island's history and socio-political context shaped his works, especially in the Broadway musical "In the Heights," which reflects the immigrant experience. Miranda’s bilingual expression and incorporation of Latino identity in theater have broadened representation in the arts, enhancing cultural appreciation and dialogue.
