Somos Boricuas We Are Puerto Rican Bomba y Plena en Nueva York

Descripción
Los Pleneros de la 21 is a New York-based ensemble of Puerto Rican musicians performing plena, the century-old “sung newspaper” of Puerto Rico, and bomba, an even older Puerto Rican style rooted in West African music. The rhythmic foundation of the group’s playing includes a trio of melodically and rhythmically interlocking hand-held plena drums (panderetas); deep and powerful barrel-shaped bomba drums; and the percussive cua, guiro, and maraca. A complex, evocative chorus responds to the calls of los Pleneros’ eloquent and incisive lead singers. Plena has traditionally drawn in musicians playing a wide variety of instruments, and in New York it has incorporated the cuatro, the piano, and the stand-up “baby” bass. This debut album by los Pleneros de la 21 features a rare guest appearance by the legendary plenero, Angel Luis Torruellas.
