Fe Cortijo, Bomba, Plena?

I just wrote a blog post about Fe Cortijo, happened to like these tunes I found at Youtube
Just wondering, since Rafael Cortijo, her stepfather was known as a forefront figure in popularizing Bomba and Plena, are these songs to be regarded as such?

I really like Fé Cortijo as well!

A few internet sites call her Cortijo's daughter. However, I interviewed Aurora Flores who knew the family intimately and she told me that Fé is actually his niece.

I read that too somewhere, and at Wikipedia, but from what I have found it doesn't seem like they are related. Other sites (automatic translation from spanish) claim she was adopted and her real name is Fé Julia Ortiz Torruellas.

She supposedly met her blood parents, Julia Torruelas and Delfin Ortiz, in New York the first time as an adult, findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FXV/is_4_11/ai_75331016

And Aurora Flores, she wrote this wonderful necrologue over Ismael Rivera, centropr.org/documents/journals/AFloresp62-77).pdf
