- Originally released in 1994, Plena Libre's Juntos y Libre revealed their commitment to a modern style of plena, the folkloric music of Puerto Rico. Spicy dance beats and arrangements augment the plena style on this album for a refreshing mix of old and new. Not only have the songs on Juntos y Libre been remastered, the vocal tracks have been re-recorded to reflect Plena Libre's current lineup. Juntos y Libre reflects the past and present of Puerto Rico and Plena Libre. ~ Heather Phares
Professional Reviews: Mojo (Publisher) (12/99, p.121) - "...re-recorded parts of [their] debut, beefing up the sound but staying close to the blueprint. The tempo is strictly frantic...with elements that refer to the influence of their neighbors' styles..."
