Orquesta Aragon, the iconic Cuban orchestra, formed in the late 1930s when double bass player Orestes Aragon Cantero gathered a charanga group that he intended to be both a great dancehall band and a family-like musical collective.
Over the last sixty years Orquesta Aragon has weathered many line-up changes — oh, and the Cuban Revolution — to become a true national institution, performing danzón, cha-cha-cha, onda-cha, pachanga, son and probably every other Cuban musical style. Enjoy this classic Orquesta video.
