Episode overview
Plena is in Puerto Rico what the blues are in the U.S.: a musical expression abounding with romance, daily news, and personal sagas. As the Puerto Rican community grows on the mainland, the infectious rhythms of Puerto Rico's most original contribution to Caribbean urban music are celebrated with gusto.
