Los Pleneros del Coco
MA
Los Pleneros, New England's premier plena ensemble, offers up a lively percussive brew of authentic toe-tapping and heart-stopping dance music from Puerto Rico. The 14-member band which is based in Worcester, frolics through a high-spirited show of spicy Latin rhythms: bomba, salsa, merenque, jazz/Latino, musica jibara, and calypso...plus their specialty, plena.
