Rocking! --Peter Watrous, New York Times

Product Description

Their cadence is so sensual that it's virtually irresistible! Enrique Fernandez, Miami Sun Sentinel From the first note, you ll want to jump out of your seat. Orquesta La Moderna Tradición transports 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 special focus on danzon. Violins and flutes weave lilting melodies against the backdrop of driving Afro-Cuban rhythms. The orchestra s repertoire ranges from traditional ballads to the latest salsa and timba grooves with surprising twists: you should hear their spin on the old church tune Golden Slippers. As one critic put it: Imagine a blend of Tito Puente and a tango, and you'll begin to get an idea of the power and beauty of this music. Orquesta La Moderna Tradición has performed at some of the most prestigious festivals and venues in the United States, including Lincoln Center s Midsummer Night Swing, San Francisco Jazz Festival, and the Smithsonian Institution. Tours have taken them from Alaska to El Paso and abroad. Their two recordings, Danzonemos and Goza Conmigo , illustrate the breadth of their talent. Listen to some samples of their music.

The Orchestra in Moderna Tradiction is a group of fine and refined musicians providing traditional Cuban music
or lovers of this kind of music. The arrangements are fabulous and inviting to the ear and the heart. The musicianship
is remarkable and outstanding. If you love traditional Cuban music, you really must include this in your collection and
play it often. I would say it is a classic of its type. I refrained from purchasing this item when I found it in the shelves
of a retail store for $21.99--I just could not go for it. I looked on-line with--amazon.com--and I got a new copy of
the same recording for considerably less, considerably so. When I played this CD, I was totally happy and delighted.
