Plena Libre | July 1

Bomba and plena are percussion-driven musical traditions from Puerto Rico that move people to dance. Often mentioned together as though they were a single musical style, both reflect the #African #heritage of #PuertoRico, but there are basic distinctions between them in #rhythm, instrumentation, and lyrics. You can hear the difference in the songs. #Bomba #music is a source of political and spiritual expression.
