Equally at home singing spirituals, his recitals are always a fabulous mix of European and American repertoire. "I must especially call your attention to a young basso by the name of Morris Robinson. My, this man has one of the richest and darkest voices in memory...." -- Opera Times

Savannah Music Festival - Latin Dance Party: Plena Libre, Saturday, March 24, 8PM and 10PM -- Capturing Puerto Rico's imagination in 1994, Plena Libre became so popular that it inspired the introduction of the genre, which up to that point was considered folklore. A cultural and musical force in Puerto Rico, they have made their way into theaters throughout the world. With brilliant arrangements, trombone-powered harmonies and a solid ensemble digging in over the up-tempo drive of the panderetas, the dance floor will be calling. "The biggest band to play plena -- the folkloric music of Puerto Rico, Plena Libre know the tradition and draw outside the genre to keep it fresh." -- The Village Voice, April, 2006
