Los Soneros de Oriente /Cuban Son
Taking their name from the region of Cuba that is most famous for Son Montuno, Los Soneros de Oriente represent a lifelong commitment to traditional Cuban music. Composed primarily of former members of the great band, Son del la Loma, Los Soneros pay a tribute to that group and its founder, the late Armando Sanchez, who dedicated his life to the maintenance of Son. This is the music of the countryside and the mountains, based on the Clave and Tres, with the trumpets toasting the top.
