Youngest Cuban Orchestra Presents its Debut Album   
11/28/2004 07:36PM
Contributed by: ARomero

New CDs(Prensa Latina) Havana, Cuba - The youngest orchestra in Cuba -in case of doubt, its average age is 20 years old- Los Angeles de La Habana, presented its debut album in Havana Thursday. Including themes fusing such dissimilar rhythms such as son, rap and Gregorian chants, the album is titled De aquí pa'l cielo (From Here to Heaven).

The 12-track record, aimed to the adolescent audience, invites to dance as well as to reflect, the band leader Dairan Perdomo stated to Prensa Latina. Produced by state-run Musical Recording and Publishing Company (EGREM), the new record also inserts other genres such as ballad, cumbia, bolero and salsa in songs mostly composed by pianist and arranger Rembert Morera. Local recording market leader, the EGREM will finish a period of celebration for its 40th anniversary with a show December 11 in Havana's National Theater.

For the occasion, four of the most outstanding bands signed will perform: Pupy y los que Son, Son; Manolito Simonet y su Trabuco; Moneda Dura, and the duo Buena Fe.

The eldest and biggest recording company in Cuba, with more than 530 albums on its catalog, includes album production, promotion and commercialization, license of master and the production of specialized publications in Cuban music on its entrepreneurial mission.
