Approaching their 30th anniversary as torchbearers of Puerto Rican plena, bomba, and salsa fused with Afro-Caribbean traditions, Plena Libre boasts 15 LPs, 4 Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations, and a reputation for scintillating performances and unbeatable Latin dance parties. The band blends traditional Puerto Rican Plena rhythms with modern Afro-Caribbean influences, mixing a hard-hitting horn section, master hand drummers, and lush vocal harmonies. They’ve toured the world and recorded with some of the biggest names in Latin music, including Eddie Palmieri, Papo Lucca (La Sonora Ponceña), and Nestor Torres.
