About Me

ENGLISH:
Cuba’s Orquesta RITMO ORIENTAL, has had a career spanning over four decades. Although a Charanga band in its musical format, they were one of the most innovative Cuban groups in the 60’s, simmlessly incorporating traditional rhythms and other musical forms of the time with what later became SONGO. It is easy to say that they are one of the most influential groups in the development of Cuban contemporary dance music...
