Reaching deep into Puerto Rico’s rich musical heritage, Plena Libre draws from both contemporary Caribbean sounds and indigenous genres like plena and bomba. With five vocalists singing in lush multi-part harmonies, Plena Libre captures the energy and spirit of community. This sizzling ensemble has enjoyed a 20-year career with 14 albums and multiple Grammy nominations. The East Bay Express lauded the group’s extraordinary range, noting, “they can rock the house with traditional singing and drumming then turn around and lay down a smoking, jazz-heavy, Afro-Rican jam.”
