Details: The legendary Orquesta Aragon is one of Cuba's longest running charanga orchestras, started in 1939 by Orestes Aragon Cantero in Cienfuegos, Cuba and still performing today. When flautist and gifted composer Richard Egues joined the band in 1954, Aragon's cha-cha sound went international and the band toured the United States and South America. This rare, late 1960's recording features the band at the height of it's powers and stands as a classic example of Afro-Cuban dance music at it's finest. All selections newly remastered.
