Plena al Salsero - Live in Monterrey, MX
"Plena Libre, what a fantastic band.
it’s all pretty great, a portrait of one of the Caribbean’s most
powerful groups. The recording catches the group live, and it
simply rocks. From the first tune, "Tumbalakatin," a five-minute
work out on plena rhythms, the band just nails it. Super tight
coros fly over plena and bomba rhythms, and a pile of good
singers who never forget that rhythm is the point. The band
was brought together in the mid-90s, to work with traditional
Puerto Rican rhythms; as heard on the disc, the band’s
absorbing all sorts of musical influences, including salsa and
other Caribbean music.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, Descarga.com)

the CD ROCKS!. It’s the best they’ve ever done, in fact I
would rate it in my top 10 for the year”. . . KECG, El Cerrito,

baptized the group with the name Plena Libre, aiming to
break musical and cultural boundaries. Their new CD and tour
dates are now more borders crossed for this extraordinary

Captivating and moving audiences over the course of a fifteen-year, thirteen-album career, this
fine-tuned 12-piece Puerto Rican-based ensemble of virtuoso musicians has only gotten better
