ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Captivating and moving audiences over the course of a
20 year, 14 album career, this fine-tuned Puerto Ricanbased ensemble of virtuoso musicians has only gotten
better with age, as evidenced by their four recent Grammy
nominations and world-wide touring schedule. Plena
Libre infuses its contemporary Caribbean compositions
with a deep sense of the unique indigenous musical
traditions, known as plena and bomba, which developed
on the island over a century ago. Unlike salsa bands, which
usually only have two singers, Plena Libre features five
vocalists singing in lush three- and four-part harmonies;
a musical representation of a traditional community
gathering. Plena Libre last performed at the Hopkins
Center in 2007.
CONNECTING ARTISTS TO THE COMMUNITY
While at Dartmouth, Plena Libre taught a free dance class. For more information on Hop Outreach & Arts Education, call 603.646.2010
