Why do Boricuas love to yell "WEEEEEEEPAAAA!!"?

Why do Boricuas love to yell "WEEEEEEEPAAAA!!"?

There is a theory that "wepa" is a versatile slang interjection that originates as an imitation of the English Woo-hoo!. What we are certain of is that the term rose to prominence in Puerto Rico thanks to the 1974 song “El Jogorio (Wepa Wepa Wepa)” by Alfonso Velez. The song was a hit in Puerto Rico and became popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. We've taken matters into our own hands and created our own version of the definition for an original t-shirt. Check it out and place your order by clicking on our website https://colmadoriqueno-ricanmart.com and keep that "jolgorio" very "bien por la maceta".
