World Music Central, Interview >>
Plena Libre, one of Puerto Rico’s most exiting roots music musical acts, has a new album titled Corazon (Heart). Plena Libre has become the leading disseminator of the musical genre known as plena in Puerto Rico and abroad. Plena is a Puerto Rican folk song and dance style with African, Spanish, and Caribbean roots. Plena was born in the barrios of Puerto Rico in the early 20th century.
Plena Libre’s leader, bassist and composer Gary Núñez, discusses Corazon with World Music Central.
How would you describe Corazon?
The “heart” is our true guide. It could be the equivalent to emotion or intuition, that’s why the motto of the recording is “lo que el corazón siente hoy, mañana lo entenderá la razón” (what the heart feels today, reason will understand tomorrow). It’s a symbol of the source of love, of positive will, of the commitment to achieve our goals. This recording was achieved thanks to the commitment of many with Plena Libre and our Puerto Rican music, with pure heart.
Musically and thematically speaking, “Corazón ” is one of the most complete recordings by Plena Libre and its foundation is the expression of love through the spouse or partner, the homeland, etc. 02/07/13 >> go there
