Puerto Rican rock will take over the Bronx Music Hall on Saturday, October 24 with Rock the Bronx, a concert that brings together two bands led by Puerto Rican musicians: The UNBROK3N and Taino.

For his part, Taino fuses Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms with rock, funk, soul and improvisation guitars, creating a proposal that connects different musical traditions.
