GRAMMY-nominated Orquesta Akokán continue to vibrantly usher the mambo into the 21st century and offer a glorious return to the iconic grooves of an era indelibly marked by Benny Moré and Perez Prado in New York bands and Cuba’s orquestas gigantes of the mid-twentieth century. The album’s fierce, effervescent grooves are designed to transmit feelings and emotions - This is music which inspires the body to move and the mind to uplift.
