Talking Traditional Puerto Rican Music with Pepe Flores




WGRL NYC show

Summary: We chatted with Loisaida legend, musicologist, and resident dandy Pepe Flores about two forms of traditional Puerto Rican music: Bomba and Plena. It's always a great pleasure to stumble upon Pepe in the neighborhood. If you're not lucky enough to spend time with him in person (he travels quite extensively as an extension of his dance and musical interests) take a listen to our podcast and read to learn more about this fascinating scholar of Latin dance and music.
