Deep and Fiery Cuban Mambo, Salsa, and Soul by Orquesta Akokán, In-Studio
Manage episode 428952373 series 7417
The vintage sounds and energy of Cuban dance music of the mid-20th century live on in the music of Orquesta Akokán, a group of Cuban and American musicians who made a big splash with their debut record just six years ago. The band’s name, Akokán, is from Africa; it’s a Yoruba word meaning “from the heart.” And this group’s collective heart beats to the rhythms of Havana (and Miama, and Brooklyn), which means salsa, rumba, and soul in addition to mambo. Orquesta Akokán has a brand new album called Caracoles, and it brings the band back to our studio to play some of these new songs.
Set list: 1. Con Licencia 2. Pan con Tibiri 3. Caracoles 4. Suave Suave
