Orquesta La Moderna Tradicion

Violins and flutes weave lilting melodies against the backdrop of driving Afro-Cuban rhythms, transporting you to an era of sensual danzones and swinging cha-chas — the music of the Havana social clubs of the 1950s. The only band in the United States that plays this type of danzón and cuban music, the 12-piece ensemble captures the romance and style of a memorable era in Cuban dance music, with a repertoire that ranges from traditional ballads to the latest salsa and timba grooves with surprising twists.
