DESCRIPTION:

(Prensa Latina - Cumbancha) Cubans, Mexicans, Colombians, Panamanians and many others have danced for 40 years to the beat of the Original de Manzanillo orchestra, never thinking how difficult it is to reach fame and maintain it, away from the capital of the country. But this "charanga" orchestra has proved that there are exceptions to the rule. Its director, Wilfredo (Pachy) Naranjo, is a self-taught musician who has placed the orchestra among the stars of Cuban dance music, one of the strongest artistic tendencies in the world. The key to success has been the honesty and braveness with which Original de Manzanillo has defended its commitment, based on creative fidelity to the eastern variants of Cuban "Son", rigor to choose the musicians and the repertoire, and love for good music.
That is how they acquired a unique sonority, without excluding the influence of the so-called oriental organ and other formats, and conquered, with elegance and good taste, the title of family orchestra, because they amuse children, youths and adults. The secret to have so many fans lies in the fact that they also play for those who cannot dance; that permanent "tumbao" of Original de Manzanillo helps follow the beat, in addition to saying where it comes from. Original de Manzanillo, which debuted professionally on December 21, 1963, has been loyal to the roots of Cuban popular dance music and has earned international recognition.

MORE INFO: The title isn’t kidding. This is Cuban charanga at its best, old styled, but modern sounding in its drive and ferocity. Great arrangements: the violins split up and play contrary lines at times; but the point here is dance floor mania, with super cool montunos, and nasty, nasty singing. No false steps, just track after track of highly imaginative, amazingly achieved music. The breaks make you want to get up and dance and each track has a different rhythm — have to give credit to whoever produced the recording, which also sounds alive, as if the band were playing in front of an appreciative audience, but recorded with all the advantages of a studio. Like: you can hear each percussion instrument clearly. Here’s a modern masterpiece, in an older style, but one that I bet in a 100 years will be valued if only for the ease with which it reaches perfection.
