A plena (humorous, satirical song of the \"common man\") is distinctly Puerto Rican. A guaracha (an old-fashioned Afro-Cuban street dance) ties Puerto Ricans to their Afro-Caribbean heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Decima \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Aguinaldo \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Pasodoble \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Me Mataron El Gallo \u003cbr\u003e1.5 La Plena Viene de Cidra \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Waltz \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Guaracha - la Mujer Del Zapatero \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Bomba \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Juba \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Ven Ac?, Ven Ac? \/ Melit?N T?N Be (Medley) \u003cbr\u003e1.11 El Rabo de la Cometa \/ Dolores (Medley) \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Venga Ron \/ Agua Tir?
