Bomba and Plena Podcast: Afropop Worldwide "Bomba, Plena y Mas" (September 24, 1992)

(A few days ago I posted a podcast from NPR's Latino USA on Bomba in New York City.  Here is a podcast from Public Radio International's Afropop Worldwide originally aired on September 24, 1992 covering Bomba and Plena in Puerto Rico.  Its interesting to hear the host describe Bomba y Plena in 1992 he uses different words in breaking down panderos and barrilles.  Maybe even more interesting is his discussions about Bomberos and Pleneros from a passing generation whose's prospective proceeded the film "Raices".)  *Note - The first 10 minutes of the podcast is Salsa music then the show goes into its coverage of Bomba and Plena.*
