Singer, guitarist, and master sonero Jose Manuel Cobles is "Puerto Plata." An 83-year-old veteran of the guitar tradition of the Dominican Republic, he is adept in its many forms --  bolero, merengue, ranchera, mangulina, bachata -- and above all, son. The musical tradition known as son originated in Cuba, and its rhythm is an essential ingredient in contemporary salsa. Sponsored by IU Center for Latin American Caribbean Studies.
