Truco and Zaperoko is a plena/songo and salsa band of Puerto Rico. The band is the reunion of of two groups, Los Pleneros del Truco and Zaperoko. One played plena and the other one played a "progressive salsa" that involved the use of Cuban songo.

Many great tumbadores has been in the files of Zaperoko through out the years including: the lates Franky Rodríguez and Long John "Penalty" Oliva, Richito Flores, Giovanni Hidalgo is on some of their earlier recorded stuff. These days the tumbador chair is hold by Alfredito Rodríguez.
