The concert,like the hand drum, South American andAfrican performances earlier this month,was co-produced by Music of the World, anindependent Brooklyn-based company committed to the promotion of world musicforms.Los Pleneros de la 21, whose name refersto the origin of its members %u2014 Parada 21(Bus Stop 21), in a predominantly blackneighborhood in San Juan, specializes in theperformance of bomba and plena, the onlydistinctive African-derived musical anddance forms of Puerto Rico.Slaves brought from Africa to PuertoRico carried their music with them, influencing and being influenced by the nativePuerto Rican music of the time. Themembers of Los Pleneros have sought tokeep this tradition alive, masters andstudents coming together to play, sing,dance and even make their own musical instruments.Director Juan Jose Gutierrez and histroupe filled the Prospect Park PicnicHouse with a vibrancy that warmed anotherwise bleak Sunday afternoon. Costumed in turquoise, red and white, the groupperformed %u201cI%u2019m falling down,%u201d a pieceabout a drunken man coming home to hiswife. The works were illustrated by thecomic dancing and gesturing by membersof the group, with a strong, but restrainedelegance that gave new meaning to theword %u201ccool.%u201dLos Pleneros continued in the plena tradition with their improvised songs of dailylife, and the performance was transformedinto a party. The rhythm section, consistingof three drums, conga, electric bass, tambourines and the 10-stringed quatro inspiredthe Hindis, Jews, latinos, blacks and whitesin the enthusiastic audience to join in acelebration of dancing. The party continuedwith bomba dances, customarily performedfor birthdays, weddings and wakes, andcapped off with a communal conga line during their encore.Fans Picked UpContinued from Page 23City,%u201d and %u201cAutumn in New York%u201d are interposed with classical music. Aremarkable quality of Gordon%u2019s wit is theway he has various patterns of dancersenter, dance in small groups and, throughmeeting, suggest new meanings.Gordon is also a minimalist. Visuallyhighlighting %u201cSeasons%u201d is his duet with Setterfield where, in %u201cWinter,%u201d they dance simple, a terre choreography that weaves in itssimplicity a casual enchainment of walkingsteps that dominates the stage.Gordon understands language and thedancer%u2019s ability to communicate thesubtlest nuance of meaning. The stage onwhich he creates his tapestry is alive. Thereis no sense left unstirred and no metaphortoo deep to convey.NEXT WAVE DANCE: Series continueswith %u201cThe Animal Trilogy,%u201d by Bill T.Jones/Amie Zane Company.
