We remember La Orquesta Aragon




As I mentioned in previous posts, growing up Cuban in the US was a lot about music.    

In other words, my parents' turntable featured many artists, specially from those wonderful 1950's when Havana was the musical capital of Latin America.

One of my favorite groups was La Orquesta Aragon, a cha-cha- cha band, romantic boleros and "danzon".    Their sound was violins, piano, flute, percussion, and vocals.

They were absolutely great. 

My first nomination is "Tres Lindas Cubanas".

My second selection is "Calculadora".

Last, but not least, "El bodeguero".

Enjoy one of Cuba's greatest orchestras!
