Los Planeros de la 21

 Los Pleneros de la 21 have for nearly twenty?five years performed the strongest strands of Afro?Puerto Rican music, the bomba and the plena. They set the percussive essence of their music in a web of contemporary harmonies and artful arrangements appealing to both traditionalists and innovators. They take their name from bus stop 21 in Santurce, Puerto Rico, the local identifier of a neighborhood that is the source of the best of the Afro?Puerto Rican tradition.
