Three top plena musicians led by Hector "Tito" Matos are integrated into Miguel Zenon's jazz quartet. Puerto Rican saxophonist Zenon, a MacArthur "genius" grant and Guggenheim winner, used some of his grant money to research plena for several years in preparation for this project. The resulting album, "Esta Plena" generated two Grammy nominations. I personally have heard the album and find it ancestral and electrifying, a beautiful conversation between plena and jazz.

Born and raised in San Juan, sax phenom Zenon has won Guggenheim and MacArthur grants for linking classic jazz with the pulsing syncopations of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American folk — part of his effort to reimagine jazz for the twenty-first century. His barnstorming quartet is joined by three master pleneros, back-country troubadours who sing like history depends on it.

Miguel Zenon, alto sax

About Los Pleneros de la 21

Los Pleneros de la 21 (LP21) are considered New York’s preeminent Afro-Puerto Rican bomba and plena musicians. Bomba and plena are traditional Afro-Puerto Rican musical genres respectively dating back to the early 17^th and 20^th centuries. The group consists of an intergenerational mix of Puerto Rican folk masters, professional musicians and young practitioners from both the island and New York, all united to preserve and honor their heritage. Since 1983, LP21 have performed for audiences all over the world and released several recordings. The group’s performances often combine bomba and plena with jazz, salsa, rock and rap to create excitement and energy throughout the audience. LP21’s album, “Para Todos Ustedes,” was nominated for a 48^th Annual Grammy Award (2006) for Best Traditional World Music Album.
