At the core of Plena Libre's music are the native Puerto Rican folkloric rhythms of plena and bomba, which are infused with salsa, jazz, other Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and topped with sizzling horn charts. 

Plena Libre presents an entertaining, dynamic and culturally infused program.

Combining a swinging rhythm section,  horns and vocals, Plena Libres music has been given new light and patterns with contemporary dance floor styles  such as songo, samba, reggae, salsa and pambiche.  Add to that an electrifying stage presentation and choreographed dance steps and you have an extraordinary musical experience!
