For all you salseros out there Urban Music is thrilled to bring Orquesta La Moderna Tradicion to George's Nightclub on their 4th Thursday Salsa Night on December 22 at 9pm!
Orquesta La Moderna Tradición
captures the fiery, sensual, and unforgettable style of the Havana
social clubs of the 1950s. The dance floor will be open as the 9-piece
ensemble, the only band of its kind in America, plays danzones, cha-chas
and salsa music at George's.
From the first note, you'll want to
jump out of your seat! Orquesta La Moderna Tradición bursts with the
sweet yet powerful sound of the Afro-Cuban charanga orchestra, which
features violins and woodwinds interlocking with driving afro-Cuban
rhythms.
Since 1996, the 9-piece group
has thrilled audiences across the country with a mix of contemporary
timba-infused arrangements guaranteed to get you on your feet and
traditional danzónes that transport you back to the Havana social clubs
of the 1950s.
