Pava (Puerto Rico)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pava is a straw hat made out of the leaves of the Puerto Rican hat palm. It is normally associated with the Puerto Rican jíbaro and also a symbol used by politicians with the Popular Democratic Party (PPD).[1][2][3][4]
The pava hat is worn by farmers and jíbaros (country folk). Children and adults wear the pava when they dress up like a jíbaro.[5][6]
Bad Bunny wears a pava hat in his Debí Tirar Más Fotos promotional material[7] and for his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí 2025 concerts in Puerto Rico.[8][9]
