About this Event
Pandereta. Guiro. Maraca. For more than 100 years, Boricuas have taken these three instruments and turned them into a form of resistance. More than just music, La Plena is a form of social commentary, the lyrics of its songs have historically been a medium reflecting the state of affairs on the island and communicating current events from barrio to barrio.
In recognition of this historical importance, the Uptown Nuyorican Salon will be holding a beginner workshop on the fundamentals of Plena. Hosted by the amazing Maricelly Malave, we hope you will join us for a night of rhythm, good eats, and raffles, and resistance.
After the workshop, our celebrated open mic returns with trio of headliners keeping the festivities going. It's going to be a night of rhythm and revolution.
Pa'lante!
