🎉Join the LP21 family for a Plena workshop at the beloved Casita de Chema - a place near and dear to the heart and history of Los Pleneros de la 21 and to Bomba and Plena in NYC!

📅 Taller de Plena: June 12, 2025 

⏰ 6:30PM-8:00PM 

📍Location: Rincón Criollo (La Casita de Chema) - 749 Brook Ave, Bronx, NY 

💵 Admission: FREE 

LP21 will provide panderos and güicharos on a first come first served basis. Feel free to bring your own instruments to join the rhythm!

This is the first event in a 3 day festival - “Entre Tambores y Tiempos” - celebrating a year of powerful community storytelling, documentation and cultural preservation. 

As a part of the Community Collections Grant awarded through the Library of Congress, LeAna López alongside Jorge Vázquez have spent this last year gathering, documenting and honoring the voices and perspectives of the practitioners who have shaped our community and our traditions at large. Now, it’s time to share our work and give back to you!

This program has been made possible in part by funding from the Library of Congress, New York State Council on the Arts, and La Casita de Chema's longstanding partnership with Los Pleneros de la 21.
