In 1965, Popular released its first musical special, dedicated to Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández. This was part of the inaugural celebration of Popular Center, its headquarters building in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. In 1993, Banco Popular’s centennial year, the financial institution resumed its tradition of making musical productions, now on an annual basis.

Known as Popular’s musical special, this DVD compilation is offered as a gift from the corporation (the largest banking institution in Puerto Rico) to its public and helps keep musical traditions and stories from Puerto Rico and Latin American alive. It has featured local and international artists such as Tommy Torres, Olga Tañón, Pedro Capó, Rubén Blades, Juan Luis Guerra, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Juanes, Marc Anthony, Daddy Yankee, Lucecita Benítez, Kany García, Ozuna and Bad Bunny, among others.

In addition to promoting traditions, revenue from sales of the musical specials helps support organizations and schools with musical programs supported by Fundación Banco Popular. Popular's latest musical special, Ellas, mujeres en la Música, takes us through the story of "Ella", a woman who has lost her inspiration and finds it through stories and musical encounters with renowned Puerto Rican artists.
