History

It was founded in 2013 by Joseph Ocasio Rivera, Joshuan Ocasio Rivera, Jeyluix Ocasio Rivera, and Josué Román Figueroa, who were students at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. The ensemble was initially created to teach students how to play Plena. Soon after, the founding members officially established the group and named it ‘La Cresta,’ inspired by the University's symbolic rooster. [1] The ensemble was featured in Bad Bunny's 2025 album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos , in the songs "Café con Ron" and "Baile Inolvidable." [2]
