Congolese salsero Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca keeps everyone on the dance floor with their pan-African stylings - soukous, Angolan samba and kizomba.  This Congo-born artist of Angolan ancestry is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. 

Captivating and moving audiences over the course of a 20 year, 14-album career, this fine-tuned 12 piece Puerto Rican band of virtuoso musicians has only gotten better with age, as evidenced by their four recent Grammy nominations and world-wide touring schedule. Plena Libre infuses their contemporary Caribbean compositions with a deep sense of the unique indigenous musical traditions, known as plena bomba, which developed on the island over a century.
