July 23, 2025 5:00-8:00PM Garden Jams at Penn Museum: Philly Bomba Plena

 

In July we jam! Penn Museum’s outdoor summer concert series returns! Live music with a low-key, high-chill, al fresco scene in Stoner Courtyard at the rose-gold hour.

Known for their vibrant rhythms and infectious energy, Philly Bomba Plena is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich Afro-Caribbean traditions of Puerto Rico. Inspired by the call-and-response vocals, driving percussion, and powerful dance rooted in the traditions of bomba and plena—genres blending African, Spanish, and Caribbean influences—the group delivers electrifying performances that bring audiences to their feet. Since their inception, Philly Bomba Plena has been a staple in the local music scene, performing at festivals, cultural events, and community gatherings. Their recordings, including RaĆ­ces del Ritmo (2018) and Sonidos de la Isla (2022) are available on Bandcamp.com and streaming platforms
