…de a dónde vinimos, y hacia a dónde vamos…

As part of Los Pleneros de la 21’s kick-off celebrations, 40 Años de Bomba y Plena Boricua y más, we are proud to partner with The Bronx Music Heritage Center and City Lore for a dynamic conversation that highlights the past, present, and future of Los Pleneros de la 21.

Thursday October 11, 2023

7:30pm

Bronx Heritage Music Center (BMHC)

1303 Louis Niñé Blvd

Bronx, NY

Join us in this open conversation and reflection space, complete with demonstrations and anecdotes featuring several members of today’s next generation of bomberx and plenerx–Nelson “Mateo” González, Indira Córdova, LeAna López, and Julia Gutiérrez-Rivera–whom have all passed by the schooling of LP21’s signature Bomba and Plena Children’s Workshop. Joining the conversation is Juan Manuel Usera, who led the Children’s workshop for a decade, and who’s teaching has indelibly left a mark on many of today’s practitioners’ lives.

This event is made possible by City Lore, the Bronx Music Heritage Center, the New York State Council on the Arts, and Creatives Rebuild NY, a project of the Tides Center
