The great thing about Michael and his tutorials is the combination of great rhythms (the stuff we all want to learn!), with the accurate musical notation that allows me to break down, and learn, what I can't just hear and do. Plus, he just seems like a humble and nice guy.
I sent it to all my friends in the USA. They are all veterans of the US Army that served in Korea. That was very nice of you to explain this in English. .... Envie este video a mis amigos veteranos del Ejercito de los Estados Unidos que estuvieron conmigo en Corea. De este modo aprenden algo de Puerto Rico.
Thank you for these wonderful tutorials, you are an excellent teacher (apart from an awesome musician). You explain with such clarity, simplicity and precision. Other tutorials consist mostly on people showing how they play, instead of clearly showing how to do it. Your videos are very appreciated. Thank you so much once again!
Michael~~~LOVE IT!!!..You have the PERFECT WAY of explaining all in your videos for anyone to understand...Mil Gracias!!!...Important for us Puertoricans to know about the right way of playing our music and people from other parts of the World to learn it also...Thanks de corazón Maestro Miranda!!!
Well, I'm happy that I can help you. If you check my channel you can find more rhythms from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil ect. Good luck with the rhythms!!
my god, I have been trying to find a video which explains and breaks down the rhythms in English for a long time. Thank you very much for this video. I also have the same set of plena as you so it's helpful to have a point of reference for tuning.
Great explanation of plena rhythms, my favorite music and what I also consider to be the most distinctive puerto rican music. ¿Quien no se siente boricua con una plena bien repica'? Thank you Michael.
Plena comes from barbados a married couple from Barbados, Catherine George and John Clark, who sang in the streets of Ponce in the early 20th century, accompanied by a guitar and tambourine. Mr. Clark said to his wife, “play Anna,” and the Puerto Ricans, hearing it, twisted the phrase into “plena.”
Hope this message fulfills its purpose. My attempts to pass forward this link leads, on all attempts, inexorably and in hopelessness to THE WIZARD OF OZ!? Your approach is very friendly and accessible, very appropriate for people who do not have aspirations to be a Plena Diva, but still can use a bandaid for their souls. Find out who Is messing around with your likages.
Thank you! I hope the beautiful rhythms of Puerto Rico will spread all over the world!

Nice and simple. Thanks.
is this the same as a brazilian pandeiro?
junglsmor It belongs to the same family (framedrum), but it is not the same instrument. You don’t play it the same way...
Nice!!!
This rhythm doesn't have Clave? I mean,Son Clave or Rumba clave?
can you explian me that? pleaseee
Plena has a different history and the rhythms are not on the clave flow.
LOVE IT!
Thanks!!
great video, but are you going to put videos showing the way to play the other two, i mean the other panderetas. it would be great if you do.
NICE!!’
