Synopsis

Amazon.com

In 1951, talented Cuban violinist, composer, and arranger Enrique Jorrin cofounded Orquesta America, the first charanga band. The ensemble--which featured piano, bass, percussion, violin, cello, and wooden flute--made a soulful, sophisticated, syncopated sound called the cha-cha-cha, whicht captured the fancy of music lovers from Havana to Harlem. This CD features the current roster of the marvelous ensemble. Their elegance sounds as fresh today it did a half-century ago, especially on the ballroom-ready tracks "Cha Barroco" and "Cha-Cha-Cha para un Flautista" (the latter of which showcases the group's formidable flutist, Manuel Francisco Sanchez Wanbrug). The group also shows off its versatility with bolero, danzon, and son selections. Simply put, this CD delivers the classic sound of a great band. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

CD Reviews

ORQUESTA AMERICA- "SABOR PROFUNDO"

L. Dequesada | JAMAICA,, NY United States | 01/13/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is yet another CD by yet another group in present day Havana who decides to call itself "Orquesta America". However I find this new musical effort a vast improvement from other previous recent ones, which in my opinion, missed the mark.
Listening to this new album it is obvious that America's new director and bass player Jorge Machado Duran has added his great musical expertise to the musical arrangements and sound of this great charanga ensemble, a much needed improvement. The strings, percussion, piano and chorus are impeccable. The orquesta's flute player, the dynamic Manuel Sanchez Wanbrug masters his instrument, leaving nothing to be desired and matching the talents of all his America predecessors. I recommend this great album and I hope more "REAL RHYTMS" CD's by Cuba's great new "ORQUESTA AMERICA" are forthcoming, along with a world tour!"
