Four-time Latin Grammy nominees Plena Libre recently announced a new US tour through California and parts of the northeast in July of this year. The group will also will play concerts in Florida and Texas in September and October – including appearances at the Latidos del Mundo Festival in Monterrey, Mexico and the Brownsville Jazz Festival, in Brownsville, Texas.

The group, which first came together in 1994 under the leadership of bassist Gary Nuñez, has fused traditional Puerto Rican plena music with salsa, samba, reggae and jazz rhythms to become one of the first bands to achieve commercial success within the plena format in many years. After releasing over ten albums, the group continues to attract crowds with its high-energy shows that showcase its 13 members' talent.
